Ok, let us see if this make since.  I have three servers that back up nightly to my remote back up site.  They all use SSH and authenticate with RSA/DSA keys.  Two of the three servers are still connecting to the back up machine just fine but the third suddenly fails.  How and why should this happen?  I would rather understand why this has happened and how to fix it instead of just setting it up again.  Besides, while I remember was easy to set up the keys and get it authenticating, I have long since forgot the details on how to actually do it ;-)

 

Any thoughts as to why it would fail?
