> ssh john@rsync.net ... Do you really have an passphrase-less SSH key on your primary machine?

  How do you expect an automated process to work over SSH if it has to ask for a password?
  - koolba 6y ago
    I wouldn’t expect an automated process to be using a human’s account to access a remote system.

      You're assuming this is a "human's" account. Also it could be a single-purpose key limited to a single static command on the rsync side.

  Actually passwordless ssh key is more secure from attacks than using a password. Unless your computer is compromissed, than no key or password will help.

    Not “password”, I’m referring to a “passphrase” for unlocking an SSH key.
