Does it ask for the root password or is your RSA key protected by a passphrase.

If the following command asks for a password, then your private key is protected with a passphrase.

Code:
ssh-keygen -y -f /path/to/your/private-key

In this case you need to create another key without passphrase and use this to login into the root account or remove the passphrase from the existing key.

If this is not the problem, then please check, that your public key in root's authorized_keys file is entered in a single line. This is a common problem with copy-and-pasting a key resulting in two or more lines in the authorized_keys file.

GRID-CHANGE-PASS-(1)						  Globus Commands					      GRID-CHANGE-PASS-(1)

NAME

       grid-change-pass-phrase - Change the passphrase of a private key

SYNOPSIS

       grid-change-pass-phrase [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]

       grid-change-pass-phrase [-file PRIVATE-KEY]

DESCRIPTION

       The grid-change-pass-phrase program changes the passphrase protecting a private key or PKCS12 bundle containing a private key and
       certificate. By default, grid-change-pass-phrase uses the X509_USER_KEY environment variable to locate the private key. If that is not set,
       then it looks for $HOME/.globus/userkey.pem and $HOME/.globus/usercred.p12 in succession. The path to a key can be specified by using the
       -file command-line option.

       The full set of command-line options to grid-change-pass-phrase are:

       -help, -usage
	   Display the command-line options to grid-change-pass-phrase and exit.

       -version, -versions
	   Display the version number of the grid-change-pass-phrase command. The second form includes more details.

       -file PRIVATE-KEY
	   Change the passphrase of the private key named by PRIVATE-KEY instead of the default.

EXAMPLES

       Change the passphrase of the default private key:

	   % grid-change-pass-phrase

	   Enter pass phrase for /home/juser/.globus/userkey.pem:
	   writing RSA key
	   Enter PEM pass phrase:
	   Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase:

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of grid-change-pass-phrase:

       X509_USER_KEY
	   Path to the default private key file.
