It authorizes all corresponding users between the systems (with the possible exception of the root user, depending on how you set it up). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
