so I removed the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
did ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub root AT oligoextra.phyto.qc DOT ca
then ssh -l root oligoextra.phyto.qc.ca

still asking for password.

redo it :
removed the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub root@oligoextra
ssh -l root oligoextra

still the same, need password. I even try with localhost instead of 
oligoextra... same thing, need password

I've done it for 5 other linux machine and it work perfectly. no password 
needed.

is there something special for the localhost as compare to other networked 
machine.
