Just to be clear: rsync isn't asking for the password, ssh is. I'd recommend testing a simpler ssh command until you get it working without a password, and then use that setup to make rsync's use of ssh work without a password. Like this remote run of "uptime": ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsync-key -v -l backup mcncyo.homeip.net uptime There's a link of the "resources" page of the rsync web site that talks about how to setup ssh to avoid password prompts: http://rsync.samba.org/resources.html (My guess is that the backup account doesn't have the key you're using listed in its authorized-key list.) ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
