Slowly getting there I think. I managed to have ssh work from BPC-server to Windows-server, and vice-versa, using a local admin account on the Win-Server. After some permissions editing on the BPC-server I also managed to have the passwordless ssh login working from BPC to Windows. Now to get rsync to actually work... FWIW, I also ran "mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd" and "mkgroup --local > /etc/group" on the Win-server. This is for local accounts only, as I mentioned before, the only thing I seem to get to work. For now it'll do. As for rsync, would this howto, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=CommonConfigurationIssues#Howto_backup_a_Windows_Client_using_rsyncd, be a good start, or is there something better I should look at? -- /Sorin
