[Summary-Talk] SFTP connection on root account (with Mac OS X)



Hi

I use Summary (2.5.2) with Max OS X (10.3.5) in command line mode.
I want use sftp to download my logs files.


I have created the RSA keys (without password) on 'admin' account. I 
get in the ~/.ssh/ folder the files id_rsa (private key) and id_rsa.pub 
(public key). I make a connection to the server to create the file 
'know hosts'. All works fine : i can make a connection with ssh without 
password.
I launch summary in the command line and the sftp connection download 
the logs files from the server.

But I am not on root and Summary cannot get the port 80.

To get the port 80, i must launch summary.app with a 'sudo'.

Therefor, i must install the keys files in /var/root/.ssh/ (the folder 
.ssh in the home of root account).
I switch in root (with "sudo su -l") and i test a ssh connection. It's 
ok (without password).

But when i launch summary from 'admin' account with "sudo 
./summary.app" or on root account with "sudo su -l" and "./summary.app" 
summary cannot make the sftp connection and i get this error in the 
summary log file : "Permission denied 
(gssapi,publickey,keyboard-interactive)". The ssh connection cannot be 
opened.

Why ? i can make this from my terminal window but summary cannot.
It is not possible to get more information because i cannot make a 
verbose mode on the ssh connection made by summary. I think that it can 
be a environment variable issue but i'm not sure.

Have you an idea ?

Thank you for your help

Regards

Francis LEBOURQ
