Yes, you can. The account doesn't actually NEED a password.

You are supposed to be the backuppc user on the backuppc server when you
do this test. You are executing it as root.
> r...@server:~# ssh -p 22252 -l root
Root may be able to log in to the remove system, but can the backuppc user?
Try this:
> r...@backup-server:/root/.ssh# sudo -u backuppc ssh -p 22200 -l root
> webserver whoami
I would bet that it's prompting you to accept the key for this new server.

Im in the process of adding some linux clients to the backuppc server.
Ive successfully setup one server on the backup server.
The second one is giving me problems.
I set it up the same way, i can ssh from one box to the other as root
with no password.
The shared keys seem to be working correctl
