rsync - Apr 2006 - rsync, ssh and DSA key

hi all
I have generated the key in the source server(10.78.0.107)
ssh-keygen -t dsa -C "root@10.78.0.107"
I have added this key to authorized_keys2 of the destination
server(10.78.0.117)
cat id_dsa.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2
but when I execute 
rsync -avz -e ssh root@10.78.0.107:/var/mail/ /var/mail
in the destination server I asck me for the password
How to avoid this in order to automate this script.
Thanks.

check in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, what is
AuthorizedKeysFile 
set to?

Also set authorized_keys chmod 600

Hy,

I just setup RSYNC over SSH between a Linux and a SunOS. I had the same problem.
The goal is simple, put SSH2-RSA Public Key in your machine to the server 

To generate it, it something like this irrc : "ssh-keygen -t rsa"
It creates something like this in "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" :

ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAA_I_WANT_TO_LOGIN_;)_ABIwAAAIEA2xzKo65E6SYR65UHSYHS767SHDGHGD1unHAWmFDD4/o9L9XkSRjk5trF+FCIG53Luc5YERFDGRETYrtrceTretVHWg7sHrHVyZv37VYjONtSA4WRieHaT/QI7wdY0eiImDwiMBjNjGk7eK+cFT/U72Q0QKIfi69k=
root@myworkstation


You have to put to your server, (here 10.78.0.107) in the .ssh/ user directory,
here "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys"

You should :
"chown 700 /root/.ssh/" and 
"chown 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys"

And it should work !

But it didn't in my case. The problem was on the SunOS side, it doesn't
use OpenSSH/OpenSSL by default, one time installed, it worked.
In a second time, try to have 'almost' the same version of OpenSSH/SSL
and RSYNC on both computers...

Good luck

Johan
