Hello,

i want to update hourly a remote mirror-server with rsync via ssh. In order 
to enable the file-server to establish a ssh-session without password 
prompt, i created on file-server a keypair with ssh-keygen -t rsa (empty 
passphrase) and copied the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the 
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys File (on mirror-server). This file didn't exist 
before.
When establishing a ssh-sesssion with root@servername, the password request 
occurs nontheless!
(with root's password i am able to establish the connection).
Can anybody tell me what i did wrong? I am running RedHat 7.3 on both 
machines.

Gerd
