That requires: 1. Running ssh and enabling it for client traffic. 2. Having a user account for each "client" and giving it shell access. 3. Giving each client account access to a suid script and/or permission to do the updates itself. Basically, it undoes practially all of the advantages of running an rsync daemon in the first place instead of just using rsync over ssh, as well as potentially creating some big security issues. But the biggest one is that I don't want to give mirror operators/clients shell access.
