Sorry to be confusing in my initial post. I can ssh logged in with my
personal ID and use -l root. Because PermitRootLogin is yes and my
public keys are in root's authorized_keys file I am not prompted for a
password or passphrase.

If I ssh without the "-l" I am prompted for my password even though my
authorized_keys file contains the same public keys.
