Question Unable to get ssh-keys working for ssh login without entering password

I'm having trouble accessing root without password using ssh-keys.

I have followed this guide: (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=204942)

Been through the following steps (in reference to guide above),
1. Connected to root@192.168.15.244 (Confirmed kindle time to be set correct).
2. Setup alias (`ktouch`) in `/etc/hosts`.
3. On local machine created ssh-keys using ssh-keygen.
4. Ran `scp ktouch_id_rsa.pub root@ktouch:/mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys` copy to kindle.
5. Ran `ssh -l root ktouch` but still asks for password when I try to connect.

I've attached how it looks with the .pub key copied over. Not sure what else could be helpful, but do let me know.
