 +When all configuration is complete, and before your scheduled cron jobs start, you should test whether the non-interactive passwordless login from the rsnapshot server to the remote //rbackup// account is functional.\\ You need to make a ssh connection at least once, to add the public key of the remote machine to your root account's //''known_hosts''// file. <code>
 +# ssh rbackup@client.my.lan
 +Rejected 3
 +Connection to client.my.lan closed.
