Hi Guys and Gals, I've been running BackupPC for a couple of years now. I started when I first moved my computing to Linux. It was really tough getting it up the first time because I was dumber than a newbie! But once up and running, it works great.
Anyway, I am faced with having to rebuild the system. All has gone pretty well up to the point of creating my ssh keys. I'm using the same instructions that I used for both the original build on Fedora and the long running system on Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS). The problem is that when I try to scp the keys between machines, the root password is not accepted. On both the server and the client, I created a root password. On both, su and entering the password elevates my session to root. On the server, I switch to 'backuppc' user and create the key pair. When I try to scp the public key to the client, the root password is not accepted. I spent the entire day running between the machines trying to get this to work. I also have the transcript of the last time I set it up and cannot find anywhere that I am doing different. Does anyone have an idea what I am missing? -- ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
