When I use that setup above,  I was told "Permission denied (publickey)." which I think means that my public key is not in the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. When I inspected that file, I saw something in there I had never seen. I thought that file only stored public keys, but instead I saw this:

address@hidden:/root/.ssh# cat authorized_keys
command="echo 'Please login as the ubuntu user rather than root user.';echo;sleep 10" ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCmlF98qYSHrlaWuRLVXZ8M/uE/ZmVLhst7mTncAjc8SmEqiknWZOVEkSIG6ZsVWVe5jVOrUn/ESUyofwxAJY6h7TkA2Ks6Xsl7U8zvMy1ACp8/vf2DQz7JuH4JsNRmYwKiVkt4XkqNZcsmEC1RBnSJJj6YUAJMZG+nyzV5xgViXyJQvmh5Kt9TrlzOwa2MudY7iHqdWGkJEDd3LlNtNgNuUQmPWWMCJgQQSzba4ZrLXU5NrlNx+azGcPvFqPl2nCe5UK3Zzd0inJ3Sknk5adEJzQ0XKuiEPdt9awBD/gl0UIme2tm1rSQkqnT3OS/R8nmdKt/OuLoJ mydefault

Is it safe to simply append my public key to this file?
