Thank you so much. Victor. I think when you execute the command it is run as user nobody. You may need to generate keys for the nobody account and update the authorized keys on the remote system.

Since ssh ask for a password, I managed to use ssh with dsa authentication so it's possible to call the remote command without password and only with one line: ssh -l victor 192.168.129.211 -i /root/.ssh/id_dsa "whoami". It works perfectly from command line but I have nothing if I try to do the same from php: exec("ssh -l victor 192.168.129.211 -i /root/.ssh/id_dsa \"whoami\"",$results); $results is empty after the execution. I wonder if somebody could answer this question. I have found no solution googling it. Thank you.
