There's an easier method that's been covered a few times on this list, using SSH keys and forced commands in the authorized_keys file. Make a keypair, and on the side you are backing up from add something like this before the key entry: command="/path/to/rsync --server --daemon --config /path/to/rsyncd.conf",from="x.x.x.x" Then wherever you are backing up to, you can do something like rsync -e "ssh -2 -i key_file_here" [EMAIL PROTECTED]::module/ /destination/directory/ There's more sample info and some pitfalls you can avoid elsewhere on this list, check the searchable archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=rsync&r=1&w=2 Tom -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
