SSH sudo password problem

[Carthik Sharma]

Hi Folks,

I have hit the wall (yet again) with my limited skills :o)

I wrote a bash script to remotely backup files with ssh. I have set up the
ssh server, and the laptop to communicate without passwords.

So....
1) If from the terminal, I try a
$ssh -l carthik 1.sh.nu <http://1.sh.nu> -p 8888

I am logged in without being prompted for a password.

2) If I have the same in a shell script called rsync_ssh_push.sh and execute
it thus:
$ ./rsync_ssh_push.sh

I am logged in without being prompted for a password

However
3) If I execute the same script using
$ sudo ./rsync_ssh_push.sh

I am repeatedly asked for my (carthik's) password, for each instance of an
ssh statement in the script! In the script I try to log in to the remote
server as user carthik, not as user "root" or anything of that sort.

Any hints as to why $sudo ./rsync_ssh_push.sh behaves differently from $
./rsync_ssh_push.sh ?

Thanks,
Carthik.

P.S. I can share the script once I am done fixing this problem :)
