Here's my server:
FreeNAS 8.3.0 RELEASE p1 x64
Intel E5606 with 20GB of RAM
18x2TB in RAIDZ3
Due to an unrelated issue I chose to try reinstalling FreeNAS to a new USB and restore my config. The restore was flawless. However I found one issue. I was previously logging in as the root users using a username/key combo. I've been using it for more than a month, but my restore(which was from a config dated yesterday) doesn't seem to include the SSH key. I checked the SSH Public Key for root and it is blank.
When I tried to login a few mins ago using Putty I got the error "Server refused our key". I'm pretty green regarding the details of how SSH works internally.
Is this an expected behavior? Is there any particular reason why the key shouldn't be included with the config file? I would normally expect that the key would have been kept in the config file I saved, but since this deals with security I'm questioning if this is by design or by mistake. I'm just looking to validate if this is a bug so I can file an appropriate report.
