Hi
Sorry but its question time again

I am endeavouring to rsync data off of an nt4 server to a remote Linux
backup box via ssh (cygwin) using preshared keys.
If I manually start the backup batch file (as administrator) on the nt box
it all works fine. But (there is always a but) if I run it as a scheduled
task (as administrator) it fails - with ssh complaining that ...

Permissions of 0444 for '/.ssh/id_rsa are too open. bad permissions blah
blah blah.

Administrator is the files owner and is the only user permitted access...

Its got me stuffed - anyone got any polite ideas????

And before you suggest it - it would already be a Linux box if the customer
didn't need exchange's shared calendars...


cheers
