Question
SSH Keys - passphrase requested at every login
Created droplet with Ubuntu 14.04 32 bits with SSH keys.
Using putty client on Windows 7
Every time I log as root, the passphrase is requested (and the logging is successful).
There are no error messages in /var/log/auth.log
Screen output:
Using username “root”.
Authenticating with public key “rsa-key-blah…”
Passphrase for key “rsa-key-blah…”:
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-37-generic i686)
root@demo:~# ls -l /root/.ssh
total 4
-rw——- 1 root root 381 Nov 15 20:22 authorized_keys
Any idea?
