Post specifying users other than root 
I have setup SSH without passwords from a LOCAL machine's root account
to a REMOTE machine's other account. Initiating SSH from root < at > LOCAL to
other < at > REMOTE works fine and does not prompt me for a password. However,
when I make the appropriate entry in rsnapshot.conf, i.e.,

backup other < at > REMOTE:/path/to/wherever local/path/to/here

rsnapshot (or SSH) is prompting me for a password?? Does anybody have
any idea what's going on here?

Thanks,

Ken Senior

Is rsnapshot run by root?

Yes, it is run by root. I also just tried passing the -l argument using
ssh_args and this too is ignored by rsnapshot. -K
