For some reason I cannot get rsync to work with public/private key
authentication with no passwords.
My first try was this:
On the system that runs rsync:
ssh-keygen -C [hostname] -t "rsa" -f ~/.ssh/identity (no password)
On the remote machine:
copy the identity.pub that you just created above to /root/.ssh
cat hostname.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 authorized_keys
On the system that runs rsync:
/usr/bin/rsync -azl -e ssh [remote machine]:/[remote path]/* /[local
path]
It's still prompting me for a password. I also tried it this way:
On the system that runs rsync:
ssh-keygen -t rsa (no password)
rename id_rsa id_rsa_hostname.pub
copy file to remote machine /root/.ssh
On the remote machine:
cat id_rsa_hostname.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
I've looked through the man pages and some google searching, but I don't
see what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
