Hi JP,  

Thanks for your reply.
But if I "ls -l" in / folder, the permission for /root is drwxr-x--- i.e no read permission for groups and others. I even tried executing the following command cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
but I still face "Permission denied" problem. Could you please help me.  

Thanks,
Ravi R.S

Everyone should be able to read your public key - that's why it is called a public key - the private key is the one you keep secured

The permission denied may be with the cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub part or the > /abiscard/local/root/.ssh/authorized_id command

Try cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub you should be able to read the public key - if so the problem lies with the writing to /abiscard/local/root/.ssh/authorized_id file (most likely)

Hi All,

I have a query on accessing a root file as a non-root user. The problem is described as follows.

I wanted to execute the following command

cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > /abiscard/local/root/.ssh/authorized_id

as a non-root user i.e "backup" user. Is there any way I could do this. This is for my project requirement.

Your reply will be well appriciated.

Regds,
Ravi R.S
