Passwdless login is infinitly better than passwd infact on my system: PermitRootLogin without-password with say 1024bit key and say 10^6 tries per second lets see ... 1024 log (2) / 10^6 is say 10^300 years to crack! Much better than any 10 char passwd. The weak link is storing YOUR private key. The rest is secure. Infact I'll TELL you my root passwd and you still can't get in
I appreciate the suggestions, but I would still like to know why it doesn't work on my system. Putting aside that keys are better, passwordless logins are better, etc etc, I would like to know why it doesn't work on the 2 systems I've tried.
