Re: [BackupPC-users] ssh and Mac 10.12 Sierra

[Phil K. <phi...@ya...>]

How far of a jump in upgrade did you make to get to Sierra?

Apple switched over the sshd_config to use Authorized_keys rather than
Authorized_keys2 as the home for trusted keypairs several versions ago.
Verify that your sshd config is really doing what you are expecting it to
do. WRT key based authentication.
