It was just an upgrade from 10.11, with which I had no problem. It was running 10.11 when I redid the server to Centos 7 and the key exchange worked ok. What I don’t get is why I can’t manually ssh into root but I can into another user. Until that changes, I don’t know if I also have a key problem. This is beyond me and I have yet to find anything on web with this problem. I have no Linux background, I’ve just picked stuff up as I needed it for getting BPC to work.

BPC is version 3.3.1, running on Centos 7. I just upgraded to Centos 7 earlier this year and got everything working again ok. The one Mac I backup (mine) was just upgraded to 10.12 Sierra and I can no longer get BPC to connect to it. In the past I’ve been able to copy a key using ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_dsa.pub root@host_to_backup (at least I think this is the command I’ve used, its from from a tutorial on setting up BPC in Centos). > > I’ve seen some stuff on the web about differences in keys in Sierra, but what puzzles me most is that I can’t ssh to root on the Mac now. When I try to ssh to it from the BPC server, it keeps asking for the password and ultimately fails. I can ssh into another user, just not root. Has anyone successfully gotten BPC to work with Sierra using rsync and a key? > > Mike Conner > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > BackupPC-users mailing list > Bac...@li... > List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users > Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net > Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > BackupPC-users mailing list > Bac...@li... > List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users > Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net > Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ |
