I have a backup script that copies the contents of a backup directory to my local server at night. The command is run from a script: /etc/cron.daily/backup
/usr/bin/rsync -arvz -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/backups/* backup_disk/servername/ The output from the cron job is: Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) I don't know what to do now. When I run the script from the command line as root it works. From cron it doesn't. The ssh keys are exchanged and no passphrase is required.
