Guys I really been struggling with shh and getting backuppc to log to the client with no password. Done it before but just cant remember how (done it by luck). I just cant get my head around how the key stuff works and where you are suppose to generate the key? server side? were backuppc runs ? both machines? place the key where? I found some guides at google but its hard to follow when you don't know how its suppose to work.I just cant get my head around it. If one could make a animated video of where exactly the keys exchange. I will donate a reasonable amount to you or what ever oginisation you like. Please get back to me even if the answer is no, a yes would be great ;) I'm very greatfull to the backuppc creators Backuppc is simply the best *hands on heart*.
