Backup remote server (ISPconfig host)

[falko]

Are you sure you typed in the ~ before /.ssh/authorized_keys2?

cat /tmp/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

[skoena]

Yes Falko I did that.

root@backup:/home/administrator# cat /tmp/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
bash: /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2: No such file or directory
root@backup:/home/administrator#

Any ideas to get this fixed?

Rudolf.

What's the output of

ls -la /root

?

[skoena]

This is the output:

drwx------ 4 root root 4096 2010-04-14 22:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2010-04-16 18:12 ..

Run

mkdir /root/.ssh
chmod 700 /root/.ssh

Then try again.

OK got the folder created, tnx Falko.

I use Ubuntu 9.04, how to get this working? I can't seem to connect as root only as admin user.

When I follow the steps on http://blog.it-podrska.info/2009/08/...uthentication/ and try to connect via ssh it still asks me for a password.

[falko]

Did you enable the root account (i.e., set a root password)?
Are root logins allowed in your SSH configuration (etc/ssh/sshd_config)?

[skoena]

Falkon,
In the sshd_config is sais "PermitRootLogin yes" and the root password is set.

[falko]

Hm... What's root's shell (it's listed in /etc/passwd)?

[skoena]

Falko,
It's like this:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
