machineB# ssh -l myself ls -la /tmp
machineB# ssh -l myself touch /home/myself/rsync-rsh.test.txt

	-- if that command works, ... keep going .. else start "thinking"

	-- you probably need to setup rsh or ssh

# simplified rsync'ing home dir

machineB# rsync -v /home/myself machineA:/home

on machineA
	- make sure it exports to only machineB as rw

	vi /etc/exports
		/home	machineA(rw)
	restart nfs

	use (rw,no_root_squash) if you do the rsync as root which is
	a bad idea
