Re: rsync over ssh with disallowed login

[Aurelien Ricard <aurelienricard@free.fr>]

If you want to be able to login using ssh (or rsync over ssh) on a 
remote machine without password try to put the key of the user's login 
(used on the local machine)  to the .ssh/authorized_keys on the remote 
$HOME_DIR.

home it helps
