I now have a functional VM running Ubuntu 16.04LTS and BackupPC 4.0
(from the master) source.
I have "su - backuppc -s /bin/sh" and acquired the "$" prompt.
Generated the keys with "ssh-keygen".
Now when I:
$ ssh-copy-id root at client ipaddress <<< sanitized for security
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed:
"/var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to
filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you
are prompted now it is to install the new keys
Permission denied (publickey,password).
I have not had a chance to search why, yet.
This works fine with a repo install of BackupPC v3.3.1 on Ubuntu (has
been my experience) so, my guess is the repo package dependencies takes
care of what is causing this. I know that by default Ubuntu does not
allow root ssh access therefore it leads me to believe that the
"packaging" sets the ssh access rights to allow the "copy" to work.
How is the old version (v3.3.1) getting around this by not manually
adjusting the /etc/ssh/ssh_config of each client to allow root logins?
So, to potentially help someone else with the same problem, I pose the
question here. What do I do to correct this?
