I have successfully set up backuppc on a Ubuntu 7.04 box, and equally
successfully set up one Ubuntu 7.04 laptop as a client, using rsync. I
generated ssh keys on both the client (laptop) and host (backuppc),
exchanged public keys and appended to the authorized_keys2 and
known_hosts files. This first laptop backs up fine.
I then tried to set up a second Ubuntu 7.04 laptop. I copied over the
host (backuppc)'s public key file (the same one generated above), and
appended it to the second client laptop's authorized_keys2 file.
When logged in as backuppc on the host (backuppc) PC, executing
ssh -l root 192.168.0.9 whoami
gives the output
root
without being prompted for root's password. So at this point all looks
OK. When I try to initiate a backup, it fails, with the following error
message (I included -v to get errors listed):
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -v -l root robert-laptop /usr/bin/rsync
--server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links
--times --block-size=2048 --recursive -D --ignore-times . /home/
Xfer PIDs are now 5370
Got remote protocol 1852141647
Fatal error (bad version): OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep
2006
Read EOF:
Tried again: got 0 bytes
fileListReceive() failed
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
I realise I'm probably a bit inexperienced with ssh - I googled and searched
this mailing list,
but found nothing that has sorted this issue out. I'd be very grateful for any
advice to sort this out.
