RSA Keys root account problem?
I have set up RSA private and pub keys between "NodeA" and "NodeB"
Everything works fine when I test with a regular user account. However it does not work as root. I followed the same procedure to set up the keys as the root user but I am still prompted for a password. I have verified my sshd_config file is fine and permissions are set correctly as well. Am I missing something just for the root account?

Hi, yesterday, I changed root's shell in /etc/passwd, cause a mistake then I can not log in root account (can't find correct shell). I attempted to log in single-mode, however, it prompted for single-mode's password then I type root's password but still can not log in.

d2i_RSAPublicKey(3) OpenSSL d2i_RSAPublicKey(3)
NAME
d2i_RSAPublicKey, i2d_RSAPublicKey, d2i_RSAPrivateKey, i2d_RSAPrivateKey, d2i_RSA_PUBKEY, i2d_RSA_PUBKEY, i2d_Netscape_RSA, d2i_Net-
scape_RSA - RSA public and private key encoding functions.
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
RSA * d2i_RSAPublicKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_RSAPublicKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);
RSA * d2i_RSA_PUBKEY(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_RSA_PUBKEY(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);
RSA * d2i_RSAPrivateKey(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_RSAPrivateKey(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp);
int i2d_Netscape_RSA(RSA *a, unsigned char **pp, int (*cb)());
RSA * d2i_Netscape_RSA(RSA **a, unsigned char **pp, long length, int (*cb)());
DESCRIPTION
d2i_RSAPublicKey() and i2d_RSAPublicKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey structure.
d2i_RSA_PUKEY() and i2d_RSA_PUKEY() decode and encode an RSA public key using a SubjectPublicKeyInfo (certificate public key) structure.
d2i_RSAPrivateKey(), i2d_RSAPrivateKey() decode and encode a PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey structure.
d2i_Netscape_RSA(), i2d_Netscape_RSA() decode and encode an RSA private key in NET format.
The usage of all of these functions is similar to the d2i_X509() and i2d_X509() described in the d2i_X509(3) manual page.
NOTES
The RSA structure passed to the private key encoding functions should have all the PKCS#1 private key components present.
The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted and therefore offers no private key security.
The NET format functions are present to provide compatibility with certain very old software. This format has some severe security weak-
nesses and should be avoided if possible.
