No, specifically not. We are already using MySQL to authenticate secure FTP, using ProFTPDd. What I'd like to do is to use the *same* MySQL database/tables to authenticate secure rsync. If rsync can't do it, that's fine, I just won't offer rsync as a service. PAM, as I understand it, requires a user account on the system. This is specifically what we don't want. All remote ftp/rsync user info is to be completely contained within the MySQL database -- Cheers, Rob -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
