Yesterday rsync copied ~/ from the current desktop (salmo) to the new desktop (baetis) using this command from ~/ on the new desktop: rsync -av salmo: .
/opt on both hosts have perms 777. However, when I try to copy the /opt partition from salmo to baetis I get a permission denied (publickey) error. Running 'ssh -vv salmo' from the new desktop shows sending and receiving packets with no issues until this: debug2: service_accept: ssh-userauth debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering ED25519 public key: /home/rshepard/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug1: No more authentication methods to try. Permission denied (publickey). Line 5 looks to be trying to send the private key rather than the public key. Here's what I checked: 1. Perms for both hosts' .ssh/ are 644 except for the private keys for which it is 600. 2. Both hosts have the other host's public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. 3. Both hosts have the other host recognized in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. 4. From salmo I can successfully connect to baetis, Since rsync worked on baetis yesterday to copy my home directory from salmo I'm not seeing why today it will not copy /opt. And web searches (almost all from ubuntu and github users) offered nothing different from what I checked. A clue stick will help.
