I haven't looked at the article you're quoting, but you should *not* get a password prompt from ssh. BackupPC needs access to the remote machine *without interaction* and *without extraenous output*. > [...] > Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc debian /usr/bin/rsync --serverist+ > --senderist+ --numeric-idsist+ --permsist+ --ownerist+ --groupist+ -Dist+ > --linksist+ --hard-linksist+ --timesist+ --block-size=2048ist+ > --recursiveist+ --ignore-timesist+ .ist+ /ist+ Some global substitution went severely wrong there. You should delete about 15 instances of "ist+". Though I can't imagine how the $fileList+ would be affected, except if the "ist+" somehow appeared while copying from the log file ... ;-) > Read EOF: Connection reset by peer > Tried again: got 0 bytes > Done: 0 files, 0 bytes > Got fatal error during xfer (Unable to read 4 bytes) Passwordless ssh connections are definitely not working. From the logfile excerpt above, I'd say you need to be able to run ssh -q -x -l backuppc debian date *as user backuppc on the BackupPC server* and get *only* the current date and time as output, though I'm not sure you'll be able to actually do backups as unpriviledged user.
