Thanks! At least that is clear now. I can rsync OK from my login but not when logged in as backuppc - it asks for the password. However, I am using ubuntu and backuppc is a system user, so doesn't have a home directory - so where do I generate keys? Or can I somehow use the existing keys (which work under my login) for the backuppc user? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
