Hi all,

I was able to create successful login for the root account from a remote
client with the help of the public key and the authorized key. But when
I tried to do it for a normal account it still asks for the password.

Here is what I have done
1. Generated the public key in the client machine.
2. Copied the same into the server's normal user account's
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
3. Changed the permission to read only for the file authorized_keys

I did the same thing for the root account and it worked but not or other
users.
