Thanks, yes the real problem is with the configuration of sshd on CS-9. It
seems to be slightly different than on CS-8. So I don't have ssh working on
the CS-9 box yet. I get the following error when I try to ssh between
accounts even on the laptop box itself.
sshd[2608]: refusing RSA key: Invalid key length [preauth]
sshd[2608]: Accepted password for root from 192.168.1.8 port 35958 ssh2
So I was hoping for the test of BackupPC that running a manual backup when
the ssh login failed that it would fall back and ask for a password. This
is just a test laptop and I wanted to make sure all the services I
regularly use were working on it before I upgraded my home network.
So it's back to sorting out sshd.
Regards,
Tony
