[BackupPC-users] stumped by ssh
I have been using Backuppc for a few years now. Recently I upgraded my machine to newer, faster hardware. Hence, I have experience exchanging ssh keys, etc. It seems I have one client that refuses to connect via ssh. When I exchanged keys and ran ssh -l root /[clientip]/ whoami the client properly returns 'root'. When I sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/BackupPC_dump -v -f /[clienthostname]/ I get 'dump failed: Unable to read 4 bytes'. I have checked versions of rsync, ssh and openssh-server on both the backuppc machine and the client. They are the same on both (both running Ubuntu 12.04LTS.) I have tailed the clients auth.log file it shows sshd[10109]: Connection closed by /[backuppc-ip]/ [preauth] so, the backuppc machine is closing the connection. (I might be tailing the wrong file, I am not sure.) Why won't this client connect? -- Robert Wooden Nashville, TN. USA Computer Freedom? . . .

What happens when you run sudo -u backuppc rsync -aP root@client:/tmp /tmp/client On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 11:19 AM, Robert E.

When you ran ssh -l root [client ip] whoami, did you run that as the backuppc user on the server or as root or another user? Richard -- Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
