Delete SSH key authentication
Certain providers create SSH keys that will allow them to login to your server as root without actually knowing the password. We want to delete the authorized_keys2 file if it's there:
Code:
# ls .ssh
authorized_keys2
# rm .ssh/authorized_keys2
Note: Try the auto complete feature, just type "rm .ssh/au", then press Tab, the rest of the filename will be filled automatically.
Note: Key authentication can be a secure method of login, as you'll need an actual key file on your computer to authenticate against the server, see the FAQ for instructions.
