Log in as root, then "su - backuppc', or if your installation does not give the backuppc user a shell that will fail. and in that case use 'su -s /bin/bash - backuppc'. > Tan, thanks for the tip.

Setting up ssh keys is a pretty well documented and common procedure and the 'ssh-copy-id' command will do the bulk of the work for you. You need to be able to ssh from the backuppc user on the server to root on the target without a password prompt. -- Les [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Time is money.
