RhostsRSAAuthentication/RSAAuthentication

[Brooklyn Linux Solutions CEO]

Hello

I'm trying to do rsync through ssh between too boxes.
It needs to run  without any interactive password authentication.

I read a lot of documentation on this, and achived this between
two other hosts.  I got A to scp to B and A to scp to C, but I can't get
B to scp to C.

I get the following messages in the debug:

root@agnes:/home > rsync -rvz --rsh '/usr/bin/ssh -v'   ./* myhosts:/tmp

I think I swapped the public keys, and I'm rather confused about fixing
this.

the entry in /etc/ssh/shosts_equiv is set on the recieving server, as
well as /root/.shosts and /root/.ssh/known_hosts

Does anyone know where the problem might be?
