Any idea what might be > wrong? Both end already have /root/.ssh, so this error confuses me. First thought: The scripts run by the dispatcher probably aren't being run as the root user. Second thought, unrelated to the problem, but a common enough gotcha for any automatically run scripts: Sometimes scripts don't run in the same environment as you're used to, as a user. So it can be better to write the full path to any command, rather than just use the command name, and hope that it's in the search path of the script's environment. /bin probably is, but you never know with /sbin, and the various ones inside /usr. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.6.11-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 17 22:16:35 UTC 2012 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
