    a small but important point - the filename should be "authorized_keys" (not "authorized_key").

    Also - I had to create the "root/.ssh" directories under sshd as they didn't exist.

    cd /mnt/filerA/vol/vol0/etc/sshd
    mkdir -p root/.ssh
    cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub > authorized_keys

    and it worked just fine :)

    thanks so much for that tip!!!!
