>From the doc:
Unless told otherwise, rsync uses rsh to contact the remote system.
Another popular option is ssh. Both of these protocols use the logged-in
username, unless specified otherwise. What rsync really does is "rsh
remotehost rsync --server-and-other-undocumented-options". If you can't
"rsh server rsync --version", rsync won't work with rsh. Same with ssh. I
think that tif you're going to an actual rsync server, the rsync daemon,
started with 'rsync --daemon', it offers your current username if the
rsyncd asks(anon rsyncd is more common).
In your question "The other way around is allow rsh without unix user specified in the
command (without -l user) but i dont kwon how to make it work!"... The way to get rsh
to work without specifying the user is to have the
invoking user exist on the target machine. That's very basic unix.

Hello all!
Does anybody knows what user specifies rsync if i dont
user user@host, just
host?
Maybe i can create an account for that user and make it
work...
The other way around is allow rsh without unix user
specified in the
command (without -l user) but i dont kwon how to make it work! Any idea?
Thanks! :-D
