Note also that ssh is very particular about permissions of all
directories concerned, e.g. if /, /root, or /root/.ssh are in any way
writeable by others, ssh will refuse to use any keys as those may have
been manipulated. Ideally /root and /root/.ssh should be drwx------
(chmod 700) (and of course be owned by root). The authorized_keys file
should also be -rw------- (chmod 600) and owned by root.
