No, the problem should lie in the permissions on /root/.ssh. The
/root/.ssh directory has to be drwx------ has to inaccessible to all but
the owner for ssh to work properly.

The permission denied may be with the cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub part or

Try cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub you should be able to read the public key
- if so the problem lies with the writing to
/abiscard/local/root/.ssh/authorized_id file (most likely)

Subject: "Permission denied" Problem
Hi All,
I have a query on accessing a root file as a non-root user. The problem
is described as follows.
I wanted to execute the following command
cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > /abiscard/local/root/.ssh/authorized_id
as a non-root user i.e "backup" user. Is there any way I could do this.
This is for my project requirement.
Your reply will be well appriciated.
Regds,
Ravi R.S
