http://www.howtoforge.com/mirroring_with_rsync_p2 It all works, except for the final public-key authorization. ssh -v shows that public key fails, even though it is recognized!!! Any ideas?? root@host [/home/chlngday]# /usr/bin/rsync -aqzu --exclude 'video/' --exclude 'access-logs/' -e "ssh -v -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key" [email protected]:/home/chlngday/public_html/ /home/chlngday/public_html/ OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to server.spameater.com [72.44.80.21] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: permanently_set_uid: 0/0 debug1: identity file /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.9p1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.9p1 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.9p1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'server.spameater.com' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:3 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password debug1: Next authentication method: password chlngday @ server.spameater.com's password:
Does it work when you delete the Code: command="/home/someuser/rsync/checkrsync",from="mirror.example.com",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty part from /home/someuser/.ssh/authorized_keys?
Hi Falko, thanks for your attention. I did not use that part of the how-to. My authorized keys file looks like this: Code: ssh-dss AAAAB3Nz..........FKGPvNcI= [email protected] If I enter the password, it works fine. could it be the SSH version mismatch? could version emulation be broken? Funny thing is that it used to work, but then stopped on its own, months ago. I have WHM/cpanel, so maybe it updated something. Could it be a secure-certificate cache issue? confused.
