Hello List,

I'm trying to backup a FC6 host, but it's not working.  At first
backuppc couldn't even connect, and eventually I narrowed that problem
down to a new parameter in the sudoers file on the FC6 host:

Defaults requiretty

I added a new line underneath:

Defaults:backuppc !requiretty

That effectively turned off the tty requirement for the backuppc user,
allowing it to connect and start up rsync.

However, after initial connection, nothing gets transferred to the
backuppc host.  The error log shows this:

Running: /usr/bin/ssh -C -q -x -l backuppc krs sudo /usr/bin/rsync
--server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links
--times --block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761
--one-file-system --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --exclude=/tmp
--exclude=/sys --ignore-times . /home/ksandhu/
Xfer PIDs are now 15219
Got remote protocol 1969582928
Fatal error (bad version): Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin 
is not a terminal.

I've tried it with and without the "-t" switch to ssh - neither have
worked.  I've also tried commenting the "Defaults requiretty" line in
sudoers, but the result is the same as turning it off just for the
backuppc user.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Ranbir
