Hello. I've been having some problems here with ssh.
I want to copy files from my home dial-up box to a server (in which I'm only a regular user), but don't want to send the password as clear text (otherwise I'd just use sitecopy). I've tried rsync + ssh, but then I need to interact with ssh (and I'd like to put this in my crontab). The ssh manpage says I may generate a keey pair with ssh-keygen, and then put my public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the remote host, so I'd login without having to interact. I ran ssh-keygen, then copied ~/.ssh/identity.pub to the remote side, and changed its name to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (since there wasn't such a file before). But this doesn't work either, since ssh asks for my new passphrase anyway (the one from the new key pair). Since I'd like to put this in my crontab, and the computer may reboot in the meantime, I'd guess that ssh-agent wouldn't help either. Are there alternatives in some other debian packages? Or, did I miss something? Thanks, J. -- Jeronimo Pellegrini Institute of Computing - Unicamp - Brazil http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~jeronimo mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
