Hello,

I want to stop the password request when running rysnc on a second source server.

You have to generate a ssh key for both accounts and add them to the known hosts and authorizatio files. In addition the sshd config file has to allow it. in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config you need these options PasswordAuthentication no PubkeyAuthentication yes (or at least not no since it is default to yes) You must generate a private and public key on the client and the server On the client ssh-keygen -q -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -t rsa it promps a password for the private key - use a password to encrypt it. open in VI using X11 vi ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub Copy the key to the X11 buffer ssh to the server vi ./.ssh/authorized_keys if it has something drop to the bottom of the file type a for append paste the key Reverse the proccess for the server to the client Now - use rsyn normally through ssh.

I have a single target machine that has ssh keys from a source machine (source A). I want to connect a second source machine (source B), using rsync over ssh, to the target machine, however I see keys in the target machine's /etc/ssh directory. If I create keys on 'source B', they'll have the same name as the keys from source A on the target machine. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you accomplish having the ssh keys set properly on the target machine from two different source machines?

Target's 'll /etc/ssh/';
