The non-password login to the backup machine was 'correct' as I had an ssh connection to that machine in another window and I use 'ControlMaster' in my ~/.ssh/config.
Why the reboot has cleared the authentication problem I don't know, I simply did a 'restart'from the panel, I didn't even power down and up again. ... and I did check my backups, I have incremental backups of /etc going back to 2015-01-19. :-) It hasn't changed in the past year (sshd_config that is) :- chris@backup$ diff /b2/esprimo/2019-09-10/etc/ssh/sshd_config /b2/esprimo/2018-09-02/etc/ssh/sshd_config 1c1 < # $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.103 2018/04/09 20:41:22 tj Exp $ --- > # $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.101 2017/03/14 07:19:07 djm Exp $ -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
