SSH authentication works and happens automatically when I log into my server with Putty. However, when I run ssh root@server or ssh new_user@server, after following the tutorial on adding a new user and giving it root permissions, I get ‘permission denied (publickey)’. Should I worry about this, are either of my users secure?

Assuming you created the .ssh folder and public key file within your new user, make sure you are referencing the proper private key when you ssh login.
