Re: [BackupPC-users] ssh from an account without a shell

2018-02-07 Thread Alexander Kobel


Hi Phil,

are you sure that the correct SSH key is used for the connection?

You mentioned that the command works as root, so I assume that the SSH 
key that you authorized for connecting to the client is root's rather 
than backuppc's.  (Crucial line: "Permission denied 
(publickey,keyboard-interactive).")
If so, either ssh-genkey as backuppc and authorize the corresponding 
pubkey on the client, or copy over root's key to backuppc; typically, 
this should work as root via

cp -i ~root/.ssh/id_?sa* ~backuppc/.ssh/
chown backuppc:backuppc ~/backuppc/.ssh/id_?sa*

Another reason could be that, unless you disabled SSH host key checking, 
you need to manually SSH to the client as user backuppc once to confirm 
the client's key at the prompt.  To check this,

su -s /bin/bash backuppc
ssh ${client_user}@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Note the ${client_user} - I guess that would be root, so it works 
without any specification when you run SSH as root, but not as backuppc. 
 You might want to add a corresponding UserName entry in your backuppc 
user's SSH config file.



HTH,
Alex

Hi Robert,

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

To run a shell as the backuppc user, do something like this:
su -s /bin/bash backuppc

Hi all,

I’ve tried looking in a couple of places, but I can’t find the
answer to this.

I have essentially used this webpage to install and configure
backuppc 4.1.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS -

https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Installing-BackupPC-4-from-git-on-Ubuntu-Xenial-16.04-LTS

I then tried to create an rsync backup to a SUSE server using
https://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc_p4  and various other sources.

When I try to run the backup it fails with ‘No files dumped for
share /data/rtgrid/’

When I run the line from the XferLOG:

/usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc --bpc-top-dir /data/backuppc
--bpc-host-name rtgridserver --bpc-share-name /data/rtgrid/

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/data/rtgrid/

As root, it runs.

However, I get the error message (tagged at the bottom for
readability) when backuppc runs the job.  I’m probably making things
more confusing than they should be, but I think the install webpage
creates a shell-less service backuppc user.  I then can’t su to
backuppc to run the line to test it.

Has anyone else used this kind of account on backuppc?  Can anyone
suggest a fix for this?

Thanks in advance,

[BackupPC-users] ssh from an account without a shell

2018-02-07 Thread Philip Parsons (Velindre - Medical Physics)

Hi all,

I've tried looking in a couple of places, but I can't find the answer to this.

I have essentially used this webpage to install and configure backuppc 4.1.5 on 
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - 
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Installing-BackupPC-4-from-git-on-Ubuntu-Xenial-16.04-LTS

I then tried to create an rsync backup to a SUSE server using 
https://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc_p4  and various other sources.

When I try to run the backup it fails with 'No files dumped for share 
/data/rtgrid/'

When I run the line from the XferLOG:
/usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc --bpc-top-dir /data/backuppc --bpc-host-name 
rtgridserver --bpc-share-name /data/rtgrid/ --bpc-bkup-num 0 --bpc-bkup-comp 3 
--bpc-bkup-prevnum -1 --bpc-bkup-prevcomp -1 --bpc-bkup-inode0 2

--exclude=junkdrawer --exclude=scratchpad --exclude=tmp
