Make sure you're pointing to the private key at this end and have the public key at the other end. it looks from here as though you've got the public key in your rsync.key file check the permissions on ~/.ssh/ at the far end, it needs to be 600 Not sure all that other stuff that is not keys belongs in the authorized_keys file you can run ssh -vv to get an idea of what exactly is happening (also you might not want to be emailing entire keys to a newsgroup) On Mon, Dec 31, 2018 at 10:41 AM dan moylan <jdm at moylan.us> wrote: > > > > On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 09:55:04, Dan Ritter wrote: > > On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 08:40:44AM -0400, dan moylan wrote: > > >> i have a script to rsync a number of directories between two > >> computers on my local net and would like to avoid having to > >> enter my password for each one. i thought i could do this > >> using hosts.equiv, but it's not working for me. i solved > >> this once before a number of years ago, but i'm undoubtedly > >> forgetting something now. any help would be appreciated. > > > Create an ssh key: > > > ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 > > > Change the filename to "rsync.key" > > > Don't put in a passphrase. > > > man sshd.
