DOH! You are right. I used the wrong key. It is amazing how one can overlook the obvious.

Thank you. I will change keys and retry!!

Oh I see, it seems that you put a passphrase when you generated the rsa key.
In my config I didn't put a password (passphrase).

Try to re-generate the rsa key without a passphrase.

And no password are prompted.

Permissions are correct.

Using the format of the script below results in:

 #rsync -avz --partial -e "/usr/bin/ssh -p 22" /mysqlbackups/ root@duke:/backup/ Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa':

and a command without explicit ssh is:

 #rsync -avz /mysqlbackups/ admin@duke:/backup/ admin@duke's password:

1. This is a script to be run from the client computer or the MyBook?
2. Wouldn't this still be prompting for the password?

In addition, I have allready writed a script that I start on the WD disk with cron.
Before using it you need bash, cron (ipkg install cron bash).

Here it is (Sorry the comments are in French) :

 #!/opt/bin/bash remoteHost=192.168.1.10 remotePort=22 remotePath=/shares/Download/ localPath=/shares/SYNC/ lockFile=/tmp/sync.lock logFile=/var/log/sync.log RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync SSH=/usr/bin/ssh exec >> $logFile 2>&1 #Un fichier de lock existe deja on s'arrete if [ -f $lockFile ] then echo "[`date`] un fichier de lock existe deja on s'arrete" exit 1 fi echo "[`date`] Demarrage du sync" #On tag le demarrage /bin/touch $lockFile $RSYNC -avz --partial --append-verify -e "$SSH -p $remotePort" $localPath root@shield:$remotePath /bin/rm -f $lockFile echo "[`date`] fin du sync"

Did you change the permissions of the root folder?
chmod og-w /root

Also verify that .ssh right are 700 and files inside 600

Call me an idiot if you will, but I am stuck. I am attempting to do something SIMPLE. On a networked machine, I want to run a cron job that will copy a directory tree to the MyBook. To do this (and not enter a password) requires an SSH connection.

So, I created a certificate on the network machine (client). Then, I sent the public key to MyBook and stored it in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on MyBook (had to create folder). I updated the sshd_config to include:

 PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys

When I attempt to connect via ssh, I get:

 OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to MyBook [192.168.168.100] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: permanently_set_uid: 0/0 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: loaded 3 keys debug1: Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.9p1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.9p1 pat OpenSSH_3.* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'MyBook' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:2 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/identity debug1: Offering public key: /root/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: password root@MyBook password:

What is going wrong? Has someone else got their (white) MyBook working with rsync?? PLEASE help.
