FBSD 4.5-stable -> Sun OS5.8 I want to set up a crontab-ed script so that I can rsync via ssh a web site to another server to keep it sin sync. (yes I know I could use wget on the remote server but I have reasons not to). I've found instructions on a web page on how to set up keys so that a user/pass is not needed. But I can't get it to work from the FreeBSD. This is what I did on a linux box: ssh-keygen -t dsa (no passphrase chosen) scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub someserver:.ssh/authorized_keys2 Then that was it I could just 'ssh someserver' and be logged in. Someserver is a SunOS 4.8. I tried the same on the FreeBSD box and it always asked me for a password. I also tried without the -t dsa. Either, what am I doing wrong? Or where can I find the info to do what I want to do? BTW, I know blank passphrases are bad, but how would I connect without any user intervention? The eventual commands would be similar to: cd /usr/local/www/ rsync -avz --delete * -e ssh someserver:/usr/local/www/ -- Daniel Barron (Visit http://dansguardian.org/ - True web content filtering for all) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
