running into a problem that is starting to get annoying. trying to rsync a single file over ssh so identicle copies are stored on each server /usr/local/file.name according to documentation on varius sites and resources the proceedure should bethe following: generate ssh key (for root) with blank password on hostmachine copy ssh key to target system's /root make .ssh directory and copy to .ssh/authorized_keys chmod the .ssh/authorized_keys file to 600 from host machine rsync to the target machine rsync -v file.name machine.dom:/usr/local/ problem is am getting asked for root@hostmachine.dom's password entering the correct root password doesn't work, but then again root login is disabled so I would expect this. have tried a number of permutations of the above, resulting in similar, or equaly useless results. anyone have a quick drill down of commands to establish the ssh connection, and rsync the file. Thinking that creating a "rsync" user, generating keys for them, and trying that route.
