It's the passwordless login that isn't working.  But, nothing logged on client 
to indicate why.

I had tried ssh -v from backuppc on server to root on client.  It showed trying 
rsa and dsa keys (I use dsa), then falling back to asking for password.

Nothing on client log (/var/log/secure, /var/log/messages) to indicate why it 
failed.

Similar setup was working on Fedora 14 before I did a fresh install of Fedora 
15.
