Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm currently trying to keep two servers as semi-updated mirrors of each other. The plan is to have rsync keep the directories in sync via ssh. For security reasons I have created two plain joe users whose only exceptional capability is the ability to login to the other machine without being prompted for a password using ssh. Now my issue is that using rsync -avz -e "ssh -l /path/to/identify" /path user@domain:/path Does not work. Using this line it still prompts for a password. I would rather not have to give joe user anymore access then he absolutley has to have. I would prefer to be able to run rsync as root just using joe user's identify files. Any idea on how to accomplish, this or an alternative would be greatly appreciated.
