Hi Michael, Yes, this is a little confusing...
Personally I don't have a "/mnt/kd/root" directory so the root is not persistent, in that case "/mnt/kd/ssh_keys" directory contains public keys of authorized hosts and will automatically generate the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. The "/mnt/kd/ssh_root_keys" directory contains the public and private keys of the ssh root user, this is used for outbound ssh connections, and copied to "/root/.ssh/" . If you enable the persistent root via a "/mnt/kd/root" directory, then the above still applies if the /root/.ssh/* files don't already exist, but if they do exist you have to manage them yourself.
