[BackupPC-users] Backing up Linux system via ssh

[Dan W. <da...@te...>]

Hello,

I have successfully set up backups of Windows clients via smb. I'm now 
trying to get a couple of Linux clients backed up and I'm having trouble 
with OpenSSH. Running SuSE 9.1. I've followed the instruction in the 
manual (pg. 15) for setting up ssh, but I consistantly get a password 
challenge from the client. If I put the root password in, I get logged 
in. The keys are correct and in the correct places (according to the 
BackupPC documentation). I followed the instructions to the letter.

When I test by doing "ssh -l root clientname", I get a password 
challenge every time. If I run BackupPC_dump on the client, I get a 
never ending string of password prompts. Anyone else run into this?

Thanks - Dan
