Trying to mod some externally posted scripts and bring them up to date for Ubuntu 12.10. Adding super user(s) either as non-SSH key or SSH key types fails (example code below). I have standard firewall apps installed and I get the RSA key question. Have tried using very simple passwords so I know it is another setting. No idea where my issue is.

TIA for your consideration, V.
