No, it works fine, no password asked, and I get root access.

~$ ssh -p 222 -q -x -l root server whoami
root
~$ 

I didn't told you the full story, there was another strange thing
happening with this. The host that I am trying to backup is, in fact,
the localhost.  I tried to configure it as localhost, to backup all
the hard disk, excluding the backup partition of course, but backuppc
only backed up /etc.

Then I configured backuppc to backup localhost, but using his host
name, I thought that backuppc would behave like it was an ordinary
host. What happened is that I am experiencing this problem with the
ssh server port. I know it is stupid to do it through ssh, but I don't
know any other way to do it.

Another question, is it possible to use the hostname as "localhost"
and still backup all the hard disk?

Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo
