I'm sorry, I'm not too sure on what you mean by working in /srv/backuppc?
I copied and pasted the RSA key from my backuppc server to my host I would like
backing up. I ran the following commands,
On my backuppc server:
cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > id_rsa.pub_copy
On my host server:
cat id_rsa.pub_copy >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
I then switched users to backuppc, and tried to ssh to my host, however, I was
still getting Permission denied (publickey,password).

Are you working in /srv/backuppc?
What is the error message?
If necessary, copy the public key to a regular text file, send that to the
host, then log into the host and append it to the authorized_keys file.

Hi Robert,
I tried what you had mentioned, but sadly that didn't work. I'm still getting
permission denied when I try to copy the RSA key to my host.

You can work around this using something like this:
rsync .ssh/id_rsa.pub root@10.16.0.16:/root
ssh root@10.16.0.16<mailto:root@10.16.0.16>
cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
rm id_rsa.pub
exit

So I've tried to copy my RSA key to one of my hosts whilst I was root, and that
worked fine, I could successfully ssh into that host. However, when I switch
users to backuppc, and try to copy the RS key to that same host, I still get
the same error as stated in my previous email.

$ ssh root@10.16.0.16<mailto:root@10.16.0.16>
I don't know why I cant copy my RSA key to my host whilst I am the backuppc
user?

I tried using su - backuppc -s /bin/sh instead and that worked, it allowed me
to switch users to backuppc, however, when I try to copy the RSA key to my
hosts I'm getting...

I've installed BackupPC 4 and I cant switch users to backuppc to add hosts?
I've tried...
su - backuppc
but it just keeps going back to the terminal, it never switches users.
I've tried adding hosts via the GUI, and for some reason, the backups are
failing giving the same error message...
2018-03-05 09:00:01 Can't find host
ukat2<http://10.16.0.163/BackupPC_Admin?host=ukat2> via NS and netbios
2018-03-05 09:00:01 can't ping (client =
ukat2<http://10.16.0.163/BackupPC_Admin?host=ukat2>); exiting
Not sure what I'm doing wrong?
