I've found the following ssh key installer script works extremely well
and automates the key installing procedure.
http://www.stearns.org/ssh-keyinstall/
You'll find rpms in there aswell as this script :
http://www.stearns.org/ssh-keyinstall/ssh-keyinstall
which I just throw in /usr/local/bin and chmod 777 it.
Example:
ssh-keyinstall -s remoteserver -u root
it then asks for you password about 4 times and thats that.
my 2c..

The first link on the BackupPC site advises that you test as the BackupPC
user on the server to verify if it works, I did as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/backuppc# ssh -l root server1 whoami
root
So ssh access is working fine for root.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/backuppc# su - backuppc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -l root server1 whoami
Enter passphrase for key '/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa':
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
Permission denied, please try again.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
But the backuppc user cannot ssh yet. You need to add the
/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the authorized_keys of root of the
client PC.
The following command has to work without asking for any password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -l root server1 whoami
You might need to remove the passphrase from the key. (The secure
solution would be to use ssh-agent and add the key when backuppc is
started. Then you cannot automate this, of course.)
I found an article on an article somewhere online that I should add the
BackupPC user to the sudoers file, see the /etc/sudoers file below for the
syntax I used:
IIRC, this is only for local backup via rsync.
