    Now I can establish a tunnel, but only with an administrative user, not
    with root

    /home/josh/.ssh/authorized_keys

    and not

    /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

    I've tried toggling the 'Allow root to login' setting in sshd_conf, but
    to no avail.

    What am I missing? thanks so much in advance....
