Hi All, I'm on Fedora Core 5. I followed the RSYNC "How-To" by Falko, and setup my users and keys on two different servers. Now, when I get to the last step, I am asked for a password for the user at the site I am trying to mirror. I searched around the forum, and found a couple possible answers: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6224&page=2&highlight=rsync+asks+password I used an idea from a user suggested on the second page. He/She suggested putting a comma after the final "pty" in the "command..." programming that is added to "authorized keys". Also, this user suggested putting the "ssh...[key]" on its own line. I did this as well... When I returned to attempt another automatic transfer, I was asked for a password again... Here is the output of my command request, from the "mirror" server attempting to automatically login into my main server: ** Note, I specified a different folder for the backup on the mirror server on purpose, noted below as "rsyncbm" ** Note, the keys were generated using 1024 bits, not 2048, since for some reason Fedora would not allow 2048 creation.

No Problem, Perhaps another member has some experience with this? Hi Falko, No problem - I realize you guys are very busy with the rest of the forum and ISPConfig development... Perhaps another member has some experience with RSYNC and Fedora Core 5??
well, I see no reason why it shouldn't work also on FC5... please redo all the steps... I've also made errors when doing that but that was solely my fault...
