It's doable… if you've installed your SSH public key as `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`, you can log in directly as `root`. Authentication is done by your client proving to the server it has the corresponding private key (which should be encrypted with a strong passphrase). Not saying that's what the OP did, but it's what I do on my systems, as generally if I'm intending to log into systems to do admin work, I generally want to do so without dealing with a middle-man (e.g. su, sudo, doas on OpenBSD). -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
