No - at the local machine. > As which user? Do you mean flexbackup succesfully backs up the remote > machine when > run locally? As root - flexbackup is installed on one machine only and accesses three (four if you count one that is never done automatically) other machines by ssh. > You need to make sure you are connecting to the remote machine as the user > that > you expect to be running flexbackup.

Yes to all. flexbackup runs as root locally and uses ssh to get into all machines as root. > Check the auth logs on the remote machine to see if there's any difference. The auth logs indicate "failed password for root". However, if I ssh manually, I don't get prompted for one. The auth logs show "Accepted publickey for root" - just what I expect - and it works also when I run flexbackup manually. The problem I face is, you cannot increase the verbosity of ssh as called by flexbackup - if I could do that I could see more about why it is failing. -- Phil Reynolds mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ flexbackup-help mailing list flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help
