I need to setup a way to rsync from a Solaris machine to a Debian machine. I don't have root on the Solaris box and I don't want the Debian user to have access to the Solaris machine other than to rsync some files in read_only mode. I want to use rsync over ssh, and I'll have to install ssh locally in my account. Now, what I think I need to do is setup a single-use (public) key that runs rsync. So in the authorized_keys file use command='/path/to/rsync --server --daemon --config=/path/to_confg .' [...] That way the Debian box can connect without needing a (unix) login, but they will only be able to run the rsync program when they connect. Does that seem like the correct method? Is there any reason to then use a rsync username/password to control access if I'm using ssh to authenticate? Finally, it turns out the the Solaris machine is not running OpenSSH, and instead running SSH Corp's (ssh.com) version. Does anyone know how to setup single-use keys with that version of SSH? SSH Corp's version doesn't use an authorized_keys file. Thanks, -- Bill Moseley moseley@hank.org
