Probably a poor description. it uses your public key as the authority, not
a password. This allows your scripts to access another machine without
manual intervention (password-less). You can walk away from the keyboard,
your presence is not required. Ah, and it is secure.

I did not see any configuration for the password in the rsync config file
in weewx,conf.

That needs to be done at the OS level, but forget weewx.conf for setting up
wxobs.

Follow the link to the remote release (mentioned previously) and there's a
link in the README pointing to a quick run through, plus the link above by
the debian crew should explain it.

The above is using the weewx.conf [RSYNC] section. That's fine if you want
to change from FTP to RSYNC for your web transfers but that is seperate to
the wxobs rsync which we need to get wxobs.php running remotely. You'll use
the same user name though.

The meteo user account will be creating the public key (with no password -
hit enter when asked for one) and transferring the key with ssh-copy-id to
192.168.8.22
It might seems complicated, but once you've done it you'll find it was 'all
bark and no bite'.

Once you have wxobs transferring okay, you can go back and setup weewx.conf
for its RSYNC transfers if you wish to, or leave it as FTP if that's
working and you're happy with it.
