RE: [SPAM] - Re: [gentoo-user] rsyncd problem... - Email found in subject
Hi John, unless you say otherwise, rsync uses ssh. unless you set it up to use key authentication, ssh will require a password. Ah. Makes sense. How do I tell it *not* to use ssh? As I said, I don't need it to be secure, just simple - the rsync server won't be exposed outside of the firewall. -- Anthony Roy This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

I normally hate this answer, but i looked it up and it's more meat than you want to read via email. man rsync has a section on using an rsh program...basically, it's an argument to --rsh= so read the man page for rsync, it goes into a lot of detail. Also, you might consider that a crust defense (i.e. relying solely on a firewall) is contrary to current security best practices. I normally favor external-facing firewalls, internal firewalls on each box, and encrypting and securing all transports that can be. but if it's just a home network...maybe not such a big deal. personally, there are too many windows boxes on my home network for that kind of trust. and you can NEVER trust the kids :) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Sure. Also, you might consider that a crust defense (i.e. relying solely on a firewall) is contrary to current security best practices. I normally favor external-facing firewalls, internal firewalls on each box, and encrypting and securing all transports that can be. but if it's just a home network...maybe not such a big deal. personally, It is just a home network. However, I had a HD go bang (my previous backup server) a while back and my current priority is to get the backups running again. Then I can think about locking down the security. The security is fully batoned down for the ports I allow outside the firewall (ssh and http) the rest will come when I have time... there are too many windows boxes on my home network for that kind of trust. and you can NEVER trust the kids :) That's for sure ;-) -- Anthony Roy This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
