Ionel, Well you *definitely* don't want to put other public keys into the the "/mnt/kd/ssh_root_keys/" directory, they only go into the "/mnt/kd/ssh_keys/" directory.
I use this feature all the time, it works. :-) Take a step back... All you need to do is generate public-private keys for the remote (non-AstLinux) SSH user (if the keys don't already exist in ~/.ssh/ )... $ ssh-keygen (Note: the password protects the private key on the remote end, if this is done via CRON you may want to not use a password or use some method of providing the password via a keychain) Then copy the id_*.pub files (rename them replacing "id_" with a meaningful host name) to the "/mnt/kd/ssh_keys/" directory. If you only generate a id_dsa.pub key, but it connects using rsa that won't work as expected. Test with SSH, it should work.
