When you did the ssh-keygen, did you type in a passphrase?
Why did you type root!10.232.48.113? Shouldn't it be  That's 
what my man page suggests you do.
Make sure that the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub are in 
target:~/.ssh/authorized_keys and that both that file and its subdirectory have 
group-write permissions turned off.

Subject: [ts-7000] SSH without password

Greetings!

I'm trying to get up SSH so that it signs in without a password. From a Linux 
command prompt on my PC (wunning VMWare Player) I have done the usual

ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root!10.232.48.113

And that created a file on my target machine in

/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

On the target machine I did

dropbear -r /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

Which successfully created that key.

So now I am able to ssh  however it continues to ask me for 
the password. I though maybe root was excluded from automatic password so I 
created a user account called flr, created its user home, and now I can ssh 
 however it continues to ask me for a password.

I'm missing a step, most likely I have to put the id_rsa.pub that ssh-keygen 
created somewhere on the target, but putting it in /etc/dropbear did not help, 
putting it in /root/.ssh/ did not help.

Can someone tell me what step I'm missing?

Thanks!
