Wes,

Ah. Now I understand: if dirvish is backing up a host drive to an external
USB hard drive the client is just the host's name without a domain.tld. When
the backup is external then the domain.tld is used and root needs ssh
access.

Since root doesn't use ssh or rsync other than for backup I can change
sshd_config back (or leave it as-is) with no harm.

Thanks for clarifying.

Now to get logwatch working; it's the last thing needing to be done.

Regards,

Rich
