No, it should be the same. Look in the root/.ssh/authorized_keys file to see if the ssh-copy-id command put the right thing there. And make sure the file and directories above have the right owner/permissions. I've seen some versions that want to use a file named authorized_keys2 instead but I'm not sure exactly why. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
