So I have copied "/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" from client which contains the public key to "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys" in the server. But still it is prompting for the password. Could someone help me. Your response will be well appreciated. Thanks, Ravi R.S SASKEN BUSINESS DISCLAIMER ------------------------- This message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.
