[atomic-devel] Can't ssh to root

[James <purpleidea gmail com>]

I'm having trouble SSH-ing to root on an atomic host. To make it easy
to debug, I can replicate the issue *from* the host.

boot up atomic host. I'm using Fedora 21

$ cat foo
Host localhost
  HostName localhost
  User vagrant
  Port 22
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  IdentityFile insecure_private_key
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  LogLevel FATAL

$ ssh -v -t -F foo root localhost
