RSNAPSHOT: Password still required

hi,

I gave the howto instructions a chance and installed rsnapshot. So far, everything is working, but when I entered "snapshot daily" it still asks for a password. If I enter the password, everything is working and I get a good backup.
I also tried to use the key with ssh -i /root/.ssh/userkey and just got in without a password. So the keys are working so far.
This is what I changed in the config for ssh:

Code: Select all

# Uncomment this to enable remote ssh backups over rsync.
cmd_ssh	/usr/bin/ssh

Code: Select all

# ssh has no args passed by default, but you can specify some here.
ssh_args	-i /root/.ssh/SA-rsync -o BatchMode=yes

The configtest also says, that everything is fine. Does anybody have an idea?

Regards,

Frank
