you have to create a rsa/dsa keypair without a passphrase
( ssh-keygen(1), just hit enter when asked for the passphrase ). 
save the public key on the remote maschine in
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys. then execute rsync with -e ssh.

for security reasons it is strongly recommended to do this as
non privileged user( _not_ root). use sudo to execute commands
as root when necessary.

rsync and unattended ssh between 2 machines

[Brent Bailey]

ive been trying to get rsync to work with  unattended SSH and syncing of
file systems
between 2 machines running FBSD 4.9RC. I have rsync installed and i run a
script like

#!/bin/sh

remote=192.168.25.12

fslist=/var/mail /var/db/mysql /usr/local/www/data /user2

for fs in $fslist ;
do
  /usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --delete ${remote}:${fs}/ ${fs}/
done

but when i tail the logs of the remote machine i see..
Dec 20 19:23:26 doppleganger sshd[24493]: Failed password for root from
192.168.25.1 port 4476

Anyone have any good luck with doing this ? suggestions ?? any all all
help is greatly appreciated
