This is the third time i have installed this and i am not doing anything wrong, i think . . . . :confused:
I have done a fresh install of an intrepid minimal install, and loaded the ssh key from my server (Fedora 6) i would like to access using rsync and cron, then setup a backup . sh file in a directory and linked the crontab to test it
Twice, my . ssh directory has gone missing>>>??? wtf so i have to start again
Has any one seen this before?
I notice the . ssh folder is gone when i try to test the backup . sh using . /backup . sh, and then it asks for a password, but i have set up ssh so i dont need a password from the server .

Also i notice that once this happens the graphics go to one colour . What i mean is when you are normally browsing directories the folders are green, files blue etc, but once the problem occurs the files and folders all turn white . . . ??

I think i am losing it , i am an average linux user, far from guru

I have tried google on the . ssh folder disappering trick but nada

Any ideas Linux gurus?

I have tried google .
I have tried Intrepid on two different machines, one AMD the other Intel and both did they same thing .

I have downloaded an older version now (Hardy 8 . 04) and will try this out this week when i get some spare time .
