- edu 16y agouse private/public key to login!!!
- wingo 16y agoI do indeed; that's why I had forgotten my password, because I always log in with my key. Amusing, this!
- getsat 16y agoYou'll have to reboot the Linode to change the root password from your control panel. Do not use passwords to auth over SSH! Use ssh-keygen to generate a key and copy the contents of the .pub to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and disable PasswordAuthentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/init.d/ssh reload
