Having a couple of problems with rsync and keys. I need to run an rsync session as a cron job and need to bypass the password request. I generated the local and public keys and have the public key saved in the target machine in ~/.ssh/authorised_keys, however whenever I use ssh or rsync both still request a password.
Maybe because the file is named ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (with a "z"), i.e., American and not British spelling? Tip: First make "ssh target_system id" succeed without password request, then configure your rsync cron job.

The other thing that tends to bite people is permissions on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. It needs to be 644 ... ie: not writable by anyone but the owner. If the permissions are too loose, the passwordless login will fail. -- In what was destined to be a short-lived spectacle, a chicken, suspended by a balloon, drifted through the Samurai bar's doorway. --Gary Larson San Francisco, CA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, I always make authorized_keys 600... but I read in a RedHat manual that 644 should work. I think I will stick with 600. -- In what was destined to be a short-lived spectacle, a chicken, suspended by a balloon, drifted through the Samurai bar's doorway. --Gary Larson San Francisco, CA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
