ssh login --

[bruce]

Hi.

Did a clone of a working ubuntu instance on digitalocean.

Trying to login now, as "root at 1.2.3.4 from the local test system where I'm root.

The login goes through without asking for passwd!! -- not what the
initial test instance was set to..

Did a check of the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" on both systems. As far as i
can see, no diff.

On the local machine, I changed to a diff user, and then ssh @1.2.3.4
and i get
 Permission denied (publickey).

Looked over different net/sites, can't see what I'm missing.

Any thoughts?

thanks
