If he is trying to log in as root (and by the command "ssh -l root -vv  
oligoextra", he is) the public key would need to be in 
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys.  My concern is the ssh-copy-id was run 
against "root AT oligoextra.phyto.qc DOT ca", but the ssh attempt is being run 
against "oligoextra".  Why the two host names?
