[lug] stupid ssh config question

I feel stupid even asking this but I have not had enough coffee yet and my
brain does not want to see where I screwed up.

Simle setup:  one server, one client.  I wanted to set it so that the root
user on the server can ssh to the client root user without a password
required.

So on the server I generated the keys resulting in id_rsa and id_rsa.pub
being created.  I moved  id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys and copied that over
to the root account on the client in /root/.ssh.  Sure enough, the ssh
works from server to client without password.

The problem now is that when I ssh from anywhere to the server as either
root or my admin account, I get:

Permission denied (publickey).

I know I made a stupid mistake somewhere, I just need someone to point and
say "look there stupid!"

Cheers

Steve
