I normally hate this answer, but i looked it up and it's more meat |
| 13 |
than you want to read via email. man rsync has a section on using an |
| 14 |
rsh program...basically, it's an argument to --rsh= |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
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 |
| 19 |
a firewall) is contrary to current security best practices. I |
| 20 |
normally favor external-facing firewalls, internal firewalls on each |
| 21 |
box, and encrypting and securing all transports that can be. but if |
| 22 |
it's just a home network...maybe not such a big deal. personally, |
| 23 |
there are too many windows boxes on my home network for that kind of |
| 24 |
trust. and you can NEVER trust the kids :) |
