Subject:   rsync of /usr/ports on local lan?
Message-ID:  <20021130061110.K19752-100000@Amber.XtremeDev.com>

Have a small network here of FreeBSD machines (-stable and -current). 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.
