rsync and ssh for MyBook World Ed (white)

rsync and ssh for MyBook World Ed (white)

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:

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

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

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

Regards.

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"

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?

This script run from the MyBook
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:

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.

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!!
