rsync & root-rsh

[sburgener@objeng.ch (Sven Burgener)]

Hi list

I am unable to do an rsync as root as client. As regular user I had to
set up a ~/.rhosts file on the server, that was all.
Now, for root I too set up that file on the rsync server, but rshd still
won't let me have my rsh?! What's wrong here? Here some infos:

Server log:
-----------

root@objeng11.objeng.ch as root: cmd='rsync --server --sender -logDtprz
--delete . /rsync-data'; Permission denied.

Client: (all done as root)
-------
svn@objeng11: time $(which rsync) -az -o -g --delete
objeng13:/rsync-data /data

Permission denied.

Permission denied.

real    0m1.06s
user    0m0.02s

As I said, as regular use that's no problem. I suppose rshd needs some
settings to be tweaked...?

TIA!
Please CC me as I cant read the list just now.

Thanks
Sven
