Hi Luis,
I really appreciate your help. I've tried the key generation multiple
times and can't believe that every time I mistype the password! The
keys are phrase-less. /root/.ssh and /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh have 700
permissions. The authorized_keys file has 600 permission. The newly
created keys have 644 permissions and are set after transfer with the
command: chmod -R go-rwx ~/.ssh
On the server, I su to root then su to backuppc. Working as backuppc,
the command that is not working is:
scp ~/.ssh/BackupPC_id_rsa.pub r...@192.168.1.101:/root/.ssh/
I get no error, just a prompt to enter the root password for
192.168.1.101. I enter the password, but it is not accepted and asks me
to try again. I can occasionally mistype a complicated password, but I
have carefully checked each key stroke.
Working as root on machine at 192.168.1.101, the command that is not
working is:
scp ~/.ssh/client_id_rsa.pub
r...@192.168.1.106:/var/lib/bacuppc/.ssh/client_id_rsa.pub
Again, no error and prompted for root password which is not accepted.
I have root passwords for both of these machines and have no problem
elevating to root to execute all other functions.
As a test, I ssh connected to the backuppc server at 192.168.1.106 from
192.168.1.101. I issued the following command:
scp /home/ken/20100308.backuppc_install.txt k...@192.168.1.101:/home/ken/
I was prompted for password for ken and the command completed with no
problem. -- ken
