Description Jim Davidson 2003-02-07 21:58:43 AEDT 
Dec Alpha system running OSF/1 5.1A in enhanced security mode and OpenSSH 3.5
with ptys entry in /etc/securettys.
We fail to login to root account using PublicKeyAuthentication.
If we switch security back to base mode then we can login ok.
We can do this on all other Unix systems where access to root is restricted to 
the console so why not here?
Thanks.

Could you please attach a debug trace from the server when it fails?
Comment 2 Jim Davidson 2003-05-16 23:15:36 AEST 
Sorry to have wasted your time but as we can still use root to issue remote 
comands on the target machine,we don't care about getting a root login shell.
Apologies.
