In order to get a full daily backup of everything on remote machines, it's really our only choice. The ssh authorized key on the remote machine can be limited to run only a single command (rsync, with the appropriate options), and this is how things are normally setup. The machine that initiates the rsyncing lives behind a firewall and does not have normal user accounts. _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
