Check the logs on the server. Run ssh with -vvv to see what it is
trying. Check permissions on ~/.ssh and its contents. If all that
fails try running sshd in debug mode to get more diagnostics out.
Cheers,
Duane.

I thought that the syntax for this is boolean:
PermitRootLogin yes
or
PermitRootLogin no

Yes, it should work with any user who has a public key saved in
the .ssh/authorized_keys file.

Hello,
I had setup password-less ssh login for a backup process from another
machine (FreeBSD) and all was working well, but for some reason it no
longer works anymore, I tried to redo everything, but still no luck. I
also tried as a regular user and it works fine. I tried to add :
PermitRootLogin without-password
PubkeyAuthentication yes
(the second seems useless since it works for non-root users)
but still no luck, any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Gabriel

Thanks Duane, it was an ownership problem.... using -vvv didn't show
anything usefull (I had tried it before posting)
but the server logs helped a lot, beats me why I didn't think of that...
Anyways, works great now, thanks again, my backups are once again working!
Cheers,
Gabriel

It usually is, in my experience :)
Glad to hear everything is working.
Cheers,
