You may be suffering from the confusion I mentioned in my prevoious
message -- if daren.ca's public key has changed since you began trying to
make SSH work.

Get rid of /root/.ssh/known_hosts. If it's valuable, rename it.
Otherwise just delete it. Now when you use the option I suggested in my
previous message, SSH will ask you the question. After you answer yes, it
will store daren.ca's current public machine key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts.

Incidently, if you use my sshd_config file, you won't be able to log in
interactively as root.
