Hmmm, well, what I've seen a couple of places (and have been using myself) is rsyncd.conf on the OS box having a post-exec cmd that takes the snapshot...

When I'm logged into the machine, I can only access the "zfs snapshot" command as root via "sudo" or "pfexec". Neither of these are available directly from a ssh command. For example: client$ ssh user@server server$ sudo zfs snapshot blah@blah -> works ..or.. server$ pfexec zfs snapshot blah@blah -> works ..but.. client$ ssh user@host zfs snapshot blah -> fails = permission denied client$ ssh user@host pfexec zfs snapshot blah -> fails = permission denied client$ ssh user@host sudo zfs snapshot blah -> fails = sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified What would be the best practice for creating a zfs snapshot based on an external trigger (eg: message from client after a successful backup).
