problems with rdiff-backup

[sickkick]

Hear is what I get to.

[root@server2 ~]# su -m rdiff-backup
bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
bash-3.1$ whoami
rdiff-backup
bash-3.1$ cd /backup
bash-3.1$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/backup/.ssh/id_rsa):
/backup/.ssh/id_rsa already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)? y
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /backup/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /backup/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
ef:20:54:df:db:90:b1:e8:ab:2e:87:55:cf:e6:07:e5 rdiff-backup@server2.ground-force.org

Then This When I try to create the config file??

bash-3.1$ cat /backup/.ssh/config
cat: /backup/.ssh/config: No such file or directory
bash-3.1$

You must create that file with a text editor like vi, e.g.:

vi /backup/.ssh/config

Then put something like this into it:

host server1_backup
hostname server1.example.com
user root
identityfile /backup/.ssh/id_rsa
compression yes
cipher blowfish
protocol 2
