[BackupPC-users] Problem with key generation in Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS)
2010-03-10 21:46:19
Hi Guys and Gals,
I've been running BackupPC for a couple of years now. I started when I
first moved my computing to Linux. It was really tough getting it up
the first time because I was dumber than a newbie! But once up and
running, it works great.
Anyway, I am faced with having to rebuild the system. All has gone
pretty well up to the point of creating my ssh keys. I'm using the same
instructions that I used for both the original build on Fedora and the
long running system on Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS). The problem is that when I
try to scp the keys between machines, the root password is not accepted.
On both the server and the client, I created a root password. On both,
su and entering the password elevates my session to root. On the
server, I switch to 'backuppc' user and create the key pair. When I try
to scp the public key to the client, the root password is not accepted.
I spent the entire day running between the machines trying to get this
to work. I also have the transcript of the last time I set it up and
cannot find anywhere that I am doing different.
Does anyone have an idea what I am missing? -- ken
