[BackupPC-users] Mac client ssh setup
2011-03-23 09:39:44
I'm a newbie with limited Linux experience, but I've had BPC running for about
a week on a test machine running Centos 5.5. So far I've successfully gotten
backups for a Windows machine over SMB and another linux (CentOS) with rsync;
however, I'm having trouble getting things to work for a Mac client running
10.6.6 and am hoping for some help.
I am using rsync xfer and have tried setting things up as I did for the linux
machine: created a public key in /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh. For the linux machine,
I copied that to root on the client with ssh-copy-id and everything worked
fine. One the Mac, root is not enabled, so I copied the key to the user's home
directory. That worked in that I can ssh from the BPC server to the Mac user
without a password.
But when I try to run a backup on it, it fails with a "Unable to read 4 bytes"
error. I've tried a lot changes to user and share in the host config file, but
nothing works (/ vs /user/home, backuppc vs mac user as user) and nothing has
worked. From some web searching I may have to get a key from the Mac onto the
BPC server, but there is also this
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=MacOS_X_secure_setup
in the wiki about setting up a backuppc user on the Mac.
Can someone give me guidance on the best way to get the Mac set up?
Thanks
Mike
