I don't know if Debian is different, but rsync can work with its own users and passwords (i.e they don't have to be, or should probably not be Unix users), in a file called rsyncd.secrets. In a non-Debian setup I have this line in the rsync.d file:it returns this error @ERROR: invalid gid nobody rsync: connection inexpectedly closed (39 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
The file /etc/rsyncd.secrets contains: mirroruser:mirroruser'spassword
The client can have a file (which can be called rsyncpassword or anything, because you specify it in the command)
Then the client runs:
rsync -acvz -P --timeout=6000 --stats --password-file=/etc/rsyncpassword [EMAIL PROTECTED]::test/ /var/www
