Yes. Are you sure? Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion. Why is top posting bad?

I agree with that, though that sentiment doesn't make much sense at this point of my e-mail. > There's nothing wrong with having backuppc use SSH keys to connect to > remote systems.

You can also limit the commands that can be run with ssh in .ssh/authorized_keys, but it's probably more straightforward with sudo. Before that, Peter Lauda had written: > I'm new to this list and of course I'm having a problem with backuppc. Of course? When I was new to this list, I didn't.

It always ends with an attmept > to connect to the remote system as 'root'. What is the command actually executed? See the log file or BackupPC_dump output. Is '-l root' an explicit argument to ssh? Have you checked ~backuppc/.ssh/config? What are the relevant configuration variables set to? Which config files did you find?
