Hi Williams,
You were right, my sshd was not running on host2.
However, when I re-start sshd and run the command I am asked for a root
password.
When I run rsync with --rsh option I am NOT prompt for password.
How can I rsync with -e ssh without being prompt for a password? I run the
commands from the script and can't be asked for a password.
${RSYNC_COMMAND} ${DOCUMENT_ROOT} host:${DOCUMENT_ROOT} > ${LOG_FILEB}
RSYNC_COMMAND=/usr/local/bin/rsync --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -av -e
/usr/local/bin/ssh
Any hints?
Thanks,
Magda
