[xubuntu-users] rsync using ssh paired keys

[Bill]

Greetings. I use rsync to sync files on two computers on a home network. 
For some time I have been running a script which has several rsync 
commands in it (to facilitate syncing select directories). I run the 
script from the shell and enter the password when prompted. I began to 
investigate if and how I could pass the password to the rsync command.

The option of which I am most fond is to use ssh paired keys. I've 
followed several tutorials (which are all essentially the same) and run 
the necessary commands, set the necessary permissions - starting from 
scratch at least a half dozen times. I've followed the procedure on both 
machines, and it works from one machine (i.e., does not prompt for the 
password) but not from the other.

I'm pulling out what little I have left of my hair. Any suggestions as 
to what the problem might be? Thanks.
