Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC with ssh

You do not use plain text passwords, you use ssh keys.

You will generate a key on your backuppc host, with the backuppc user account, and then put the public key on the remote server. And then login once via ssh to the remote server to test if the key works (with the backuppc user).

If everything is ok, then backuppc will run the rsync job without problems

I read the doc, but I don't understand the rsync method settings.
"Rsync is run on the remote client via rsh or ssh."
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#_conf_rsyncclientcmd_

The default parameter:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';

I try this:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l username $hostIP $rsyncPath $argList+';

but how can I set the password parameter in ssh connection?
