Use anonymous rsync? There's a section on rsyncd in the rsync(1)
man page, but most of the meat is in the rsyncd.conf(5) man page.
The downside is you'll lose information about user and group ownership
of files. Oh, and obviously be careful about limiting where people
can access the rsyncd server from, or your precious data may go on
an unplanned walkies...
Cheers,
Matthew
