i followed the instructions under "How do I setup OpenSSH?" on the
webpage you provided exactly. i understand after setting up the
public/private keys i should not be asked for a passphrase when i
manually log in (after the first time). but i keep getting a
passphrase prompt every time. backuppc is checking the keys in
/var/lib/backuppc (there is a .ssh/ folder there). but the intructions
tell me to store the keys in root's home.
