Hi, I want to rsync /usr/home from one machine to another, for purposes of backup. This would be a cinch if I just rsyncd -e ssh, as user "root" from one machine to another. The cron job runs with root perms, and the destination machine gets logged into as root and can write into the destination /usr/home. However, I sort of like the idea that root cannot ssh directly into a freebsd machine, by default. I am inclined not to change this. I also would like to keep default /usr/home permissions as they are. So how should I do this ? Thanks.
