Hi,
I'm trying to do a remote backup of system to a tape drive connected to another
system. I have set up public key authentication between the systems, so that I
can log in as root without passwords. The setup is like this:
Tape Drive----System A<----->System B
I want to write data from System B on to tape in the tape drive connected to System A.
To test the connection, I do:
[System A]# ssh System B tar -b 512 --rsh-command=/usr/bin/ssh -tvf System
A:/dev/nst0
However, this gives me an error:
---
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).
tar: SystemA\:/dev/nst0: Cannot open: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
---
Allocating a pseudo-TTY helps in getting the remote tar command to work. But
I'm prompted to enter my key passphrase:
---
[System A]# ssh -t System B tar -b 512 --rsh-command=/usr/bin/ssh -tvf System
A:/dev/nst0
Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa':
---
However, I want this to be non-interactive. I can run the tar command locally on System B and it works fine.
I am running tar-1.15 on both machines. On System A, I'm running OpenSSH 4.2p1,
and on System B I'm running OpenSSH 3.6.1p2
Is there a way to do what I want?
Thanks,
Saurabh
