Well the ssh problem your having sounds like the file permissions of the home dir or .ssh/ or authorized_keys.
drwxr-xr-x 26 yazz users /home/yazz/
drwxr-xr-x 3 yazz users /home/yazz/.ssh/
-rw-r--r-- 1 yazz users /home/yazz/.ssh/authorized_keys
If thats not it are you using SSH1 on one machine and SSH2 on another?
Your setup of /etc/ssh/sshd_config might not be letting SSH1 keys. Try
a SSH2 ... "ssh-keygey -t dsa" then put id_dsa.pub in
.ssh/authorized_keys2.
You might want to make sure you allow RSAAuthentication in your
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Last thing I can think off is you forgot to install the sshd PAM config
file if you compiled and installed SSH by hand... Look in your source
for sshd.pam and put it in the file /etc/pam.d/sshd.
Thats all I can think off of the top of my head...
Oh I don't know if anyone wants my rsync scripts I wrote for
doing some of our backups but I attached them. It works simple
enough using rsync over ssh.
./backup-sshd host.domain.com
Its just a bash script that does a nice job for us. Just thought someone
else might find it handy or might want to give me some ideas for
improving it. I have another one for doing it over the rsync daemon
too...
Latter,
Yazz
