Did all that. It still asks for a password.

After being frustrated with pacifier using OpenBSD, and the multitude
of things that are different there, I looked at the ISP I'm dialing
in to.

That ISP uses linux 2.4.18, with all the expected files in place.

So, some one else suggested that I use rsync (not available on the BSD
system).

And I created a new user (ipsync) on my local system that will do
nothing except this update function, so that I don't have to muck with
my keys that I use for other systems.

ran ssh-keygen as the new user. created a cron entry to run the ip
update script. The script works, except for the last bit:


RSYNC_PASSWORD=itsAsecret
export RSYNC_PASSWORD
rsync -e ssh -logptrvz renegaid.html asavage at ncplus.net:www/


This _always_ asks for a password if run by hand, and always reports:

Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, (publickey,password).
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

when running in the cron. Once I get this working, I'll post the full
script.

TIA!
