I maintain a BackupPC system for our small museum, backing up about 10 computers, mostly Windows. BPC is version 3.3.1, running on Centos 7. I just upgraded to Centos 7 earlier this year and got everything working again ok. The one Mac I backup (mine) was just upgraded to 10.12 Sierra and I can no longer get BPC to connect to it. In the past I’ve been able to copy a key using ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_dsa.pub root@host_to_backup (at least I think this is the command I’ve used, its from from a tutorial on setting up BPC in Centos).
I’ve seen some stuff on the web about differences in keys in Sierra, but what puzzles me most is that I can’t ssh to root on the Mac now. When I try to ssh to it from the BPC server, it keeps asking for the password and ultimately fails. I can ssh into another user, just not root. Has anyone successfully gotten BPC to work with Sierra using rsync and a key?
