I have a remote data acquisition box running Suse 11.1.
I had a desktop with Suse 11.1 that executed an rsync command without password successfully for 3+ years.
I recently updated my desktop to Suse 12.3, and the rsync command not longer worked without typing in the password of the remote machine.
I regenerated rsa keys for both remote and desktop machines and put each other's pub keys on the other machine in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys files
Can anyone advise if there may be a reason why 12.3 Suse can't rsync to a Suse 11.1 machine?
Thank you for any help, Allen +++++++
There could be several different causes, but if nothing else changed with regard to key storage, I would suggest that you look into settings in the ssh_config and or sshd_config that may disallow password-less keys.

John, I had done comparisons before, but I went back again. A striking difference is the The 'Ciphers' line between 11.1 and 12.3 in the ssh_config files are different. 12.3 also has a 'MACs ...' line that 11.1 does not have. This suggests the pub keys are made with different ciphers between 11.1 and 12.3 Sound plausible? If yes, how do I overcome this Suse version system difference? Thanks, Allen
