I think you need to su - <backuppcUserNameHere> and try to ssh -l root 192.168.6.50 as that user so it gets the key for the remote host stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Also, I would personally recommend using rsyncd rather than rsync over ssh just so you don't have a non-priveliged user of one machine becoming root on another, but that's just my advice. If you choose to go the ssh route, this should work! HTH! Randy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
