Nagios Backup from GUI via ssh

[absarcompass]

Hi Team,
I can see that there is a change in forum,
previously I was facing an issue with backup not working from Gui, below is the link to topi which Now I can not access.
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 1&start=10

Just wanted to update that gui backup test worked on when I transfer to centos 7 but other than that it is not working on Gentoo rolling or Ubuntu.
I think there is some limitation in versions of ssh or php. I request to please ask developers to test it from centos 6 to current latest flavours of linux and they will surely be able to replicate.
Cheers for help.

HI,

Yes, we now have a customer forum and community forum to make things easier to manage or easier to understand for all users.

Regarding your question, this hasn't been tested this with Gentoo or Arch Linux, but tried it on CentOS 6 (with the default sshd config) and it does work.

I discussed the issue with our developers, and they believe that the problem is caused by the sshd config.
