I have on my production FreeBSD machine setup an rsyncd via xinetd, and would like to rsync /usr/ports across to the other FreeBSD machines so I wouldn't have to crontab cvsup on all of them (thus putting more load on my limited bandwidth, and adding unnecessary load to the cvsup servers). Things appear to be working. However, I'm currently running the rsync commands on the client machines over ssh, which means I need ssh root access, on top of which using public key encryption (so I can crontab the rsync commands). Is there a better way to do this? Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
