And I presume that if one doesn't trust SSH, and was using, say vtun or ipsec, that one would remove the SSH bits you added and treat it as though it is a local, unencrypted rsync? I mention this specifically because I am wary of host-based authentication, especially on a remote server (by the same principle that I keep my keys nearby)... and most large organizations have some sort of VPN already (not ssh), anyway.
You are spot-on in saying that rsync is the right tool for the job! Thanks for the tasty bits, keep 'em coming = ) regards, Ben On 21 Oct 2003 10:15:33 -0700 "D.
