    Hello,

    I have a weird ssh problem from host A to host B.

    if host-A has no ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and ~/.ssh/id_rsa then it works fine. If I connect from host-A to host-B (as root user) "ssh host-B" it asks for root password and allows me to get remote root prompt upon entering pasword.

    if host-A has ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (generated using ssh-keygen -t rsa with blank passphrase ) then if i try "ssh host-B" it throws "connection closed" error immediately.

    Pls advise. TIA

    try running your sshd with debug flag (-d or -dd or -ddd) and look at the output

    enable syslog for auth.debug to see if anything useful get logged

    what are your SSH/SSL versions on both systems?
