Hi Les,

I'm not getting something about setting up to use rsync to backup /home
on localhost.  The instructions that I filed for generating keys is:

Setting up BackupPC software to run rsync using visudo:

Create user backuppc on the server and each client.

Then generate keys for your server backuppc user:
backuppc$> ssh-keygen -t rsa
use ssh-copy-id to copy the pub key to each of the clients
backuppc$>ssh-copy-id client    

Likewise, on each client generate keys for backuppc user: 
backuppc$> ssh-keygen -t rsa
use ssh-copy-id to copy the pub key to the server:
backuppc$>ssh-copy-id archive-server

On the archiving server, backuppc would ssh-copy-id localhost ??
Where does the reciprocal key come from ??
