Hello,

While moving my stuff online I decided that it was the time to allow 
more machines to login to my server.

Indeed I have my usual old Mac that merits a chance to login to my cloud
server too.. ;)

I went to my Mac (SSH -V: OpenSSH 6.9p1 LibreSSL 2.1.8) and launched
ssh-keygen produced for my my user a nice RSA key. I grabbed it and I
went on my
cloud server (SSH -V: OpenSSH 9.2p1 OpenSSL 3.0.9) and appended it in
my .ssh/authorized_keys.

SSHD user authentication by password is disabled on the cloud server..

I rebooted the Mac and restarted SSH on the cloud server.. but
the Mac SSH continues to ask to me to login with the root password
instead to ask the RSA file password to access its public key.
>From the man I see that asking the root password is the last chance
given to the user to login if anything goes wrong..

Is there any chance to make Mac SSH login works by key or I can give it
up?

Thanks!
