The potential problem is the ssh binry location still differs from one
unix variant to another and also depends on the compilation time flags.
Unlike rsh which over the time has found a standard location, "ssh" still
needs finds place in many places.
Then again by default ssh has to be used with the pub key in the remote
box and so on and so forth, like no pass phrase.
I just hope having "ssync" will not create the notion that ssh once
installed but not configured can work (like in case of scp where it
prompts for a password and works)
Will the manpage on ssync cover all these details too ??
Letting the thoughts flow. If an answer to all these is possible then
this looks a very good idea. Please also intimate the guys to do the
necessary port to WIN32 platform too.
