    Further test, which I missed earlier for some unknown reason, was to create an
    ssh key for a non-root user, copy to the target server, and try a key
    authenticated login with the non-root user... worked perfectly.

    As such, the problem does not appear to be with the ssh key login, but with the
    fact that it is a root login. I am focusing my efforts there. Any idea as to
    why the server would not allow root login given that we have already checked
    "PermitRootLogin yes" for the sshd_config. Is there another location or entry
    which would be preventing root logins?
