I want to be able to log in as root by SSH with a specific IP address.
This is so rsync can log in to the server easily and backup many files
owned by many different users and groups. Rather than a script on the
server logging into the server with the backups with many files and
many different users.
Can it be done?
been there, doing that...
ANOTHER way of doing this, you can modify your root ssh authorized_key
file so it only accepts connections from designated sites for a
particular key:
from="1.2.3.4" ssh-rsa SZJlGKh8nr....cSAG/hBi root@backup
\__new part__/ \____________usual part of key__________/
(there are lots of other nifty options here -- see man sshd)
combine that with no password logins and your goal is accomplished.
