Hi I am trying to rsync some files to another computer using ssh from a cron job. Aparently it can be done. I have followed the instructions found at http://www.unixadm.net/howto/rsync-ssh.html ssh-keygen -b 1024 -N "" ftp identity.pub to /root/.ssh/authorized.keys chmod 600 authorized.keys ssh client's_hostname This should log you into the client as root without a password. It always asks for a password? All guides/howtos say this is how it is done. I can ssh happily no problems but it always asks for a password. I can rsync happily as long as I enter the password. What am I missing? Thanks
