Ok,
I am following the instructions listed here:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=23215.msg93167#msg93167
I have about 5 servers that I am trying to get backed up overnight on a 6th server using cron. I can get two servers to login with ssh authorized dsa keys, but can't get anymore to work. The authorized key files that work are authorized_keys and authorized_keys2. It does not seem to work if I use anything else.
Anyone else come across this?
TIA

Marco,
I use rsync to do both local and remote backup of multiple servers every day.
I usually create a public key with the server name its created to keep the from each other.
The I create a ssh config file in /root/.ssh/config indicating which key to use. Hence when connecting to diskserver01 use the archive01_dsa key etc.
Host diskserver01
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/archive01_dsa
Host server02
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/archive01_dsa
I only use the authorized_keys file and cat all the keys into that.
Rgds,
Jesper
