I just took a glance at it, and it recommends using an unencrypted private key without a forced command on the remote host's authorized_keys. This isn't _all_ bad, but I'd say it could be better, by adding some options in the remote host's authorized_keys to prevent this key from being used for anything but rsync, and only from a specified host. I think I wrote up something about this on this list a while back; try http://google.com/search?q=vineet+rsync+authorized_keys . If you can't find anything, let me know and I'll write it again. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/sprintpcs_sucks
