I really appreciate your help. I've tried the key generation multiple
times and can't believe that every time I mistype the password! The
keys are phrase-less. /root/.ssh and /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh have 700
permissions. The authorized_keys file has 600 permission. The newly
created keys have 644 permissions and are set after transfer with the
command: chmod -R go-rwx ~/.ssh
On the server, I su to root then su to backuppc. Working as backuppc,
the command that is not working is:
scp ~/.ssh/BackupPC_id_rsa.pub root < at > 192.168.1.101:/root/.ssh/
I get no error, just a prompt to enter the root password for
192.168.1.101. I enter the password, but it is not accepted and asks me
to try again. I can occasionally mistype a complicated password, but I
have carefully checked each key stroke.
Working as root on machine at 192.168.1.101, the command that is not
working is:
scp ~/.ssh/client_id_rsa.pub
root < at > 192.168.1.106:/var/lib/bacuppc/.ssh/client_id_rsa.pub
Again, no error and prompted for root password which is not accepted.
I have root passwords for both of these machines and have no problem
elevating to root to execute all other functions.
As a test, I ssh connected to the backuppc server at 192.168.1.106 from
192.168.1.101. I issued the following command:
scp /home/ken/20100308.backuppc_install.txt ken < at > 192.168.1.101:/home/ken/
I was prompted for password for ken and the command completed with no
problem. -- ken

So,
you may tell us exactly the scp command you are trying (or use
ssh-copy-id command instead, which I recommend).
I would still try to connect between two non root users to see if it
also doesn't work
Are you creating rsa files with or without password?
Wrong permissions for the .ssh dir may also be the problem.
$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Remember to restart ssh after changes
maybe show us your client /etc/ssh/sshd_config if none of the above
helps/work (check for AllowUsers directives, etc)

PS: I guess you are planning to use
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';

Hi Luis,
I thought you had the answer! But when I checked, I found the files
are
set to allow root logon. -- ken
