First, thank you again for showing how to restrict commands with ssh.
It's a very tight solution. you just do ssh and the command runs. Ok.
Regarding the previous talk, you still need to allow the backup user to sudo
with visudo, right? If you want automated backups, that is.
And phraseless keys if you don't use an agent, isn't it?
About the topic, I guess we could keep this for increasing security for ssh
with phraseless keys until it goes, but yes, I was just wondering.
I'll start another topic for using an agent on a server without X.
That's because, as I remember, when I had backuppc server on a machine with
X, it was quite easy to make the gnome-agent send the key. The only thing
was the need to insert a key on boot, what could be a problem on a power
event.
I never was able to do that with ssh-agent. :(
Regards
Luis
