I think by default the backuppc user doesn't own /var/lib/backuppc/ which can cause some problems. Try this: sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh sudo chown -R backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh sudo chgrp -R backuppc /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh That will just attempt to create the directory (which probably already exists, but just in case), and then sets the owner and group on that directory plus all files/folders below it. Try again to manually run the command again. $ ssh -l root cableweb3.ca whoami Regards, Adam -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers www.websitemanagers.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
