bash-4.4$ ssh-copy-id -f -i /var/lib/BackupPC/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 'root@vpnsvr' 
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: 
"/var/lib/BackupPC/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" 

Number of key(s) added: 1 

Now try logging into the machine, with: "ssh 'root@vpnsvr'" 
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added. 

I used the -f because i had already manually copied and pasted it in the client 

It looked like that worked i was able to run a backup on that client. I will 
try a few more to verify that did the trick. If so thank you for your help

David, 

The backuppc user generally doesn’t have shell access. You should be able to 
use something like: 



su -s /bin/bash backuppc 

ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/ [ 
https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fid_rsa.pub&c=E,1,82IDWb-eudNlyvLMDJBuMLdSFXVbDrhyFpjNYS_XIRKpn7MubjAbeeOuttgj2AvaCS4X-T6od9gb1c7wVVCXcaZRsPeYIgD-GY_BT3fd&typo=1
 | id_rsa.pub ] ‘ [ mailto:r...@client.to | r...@client.to ] .backup' 

exit 
On the server, you can add shell access to the backuppc user with: 



usermod -s /bin/bash backuppc 

Thanks, 

Greg Harris

I have created root ssh keys and added them to authorized_keys on the client. 


We have a older 3.3 version that is running, but this is a new install on a new 
box. I can't seem to find anything. I think the host key verification is the 
clue. Should i be able to login into the client from the server as backuppc? 
Currently no passwd is set on that account so i can't ssh to the client and 
accept the figure print. 

Thanks for any help or leads
