That's not using the rsync server. That requires a system account and has all the same issues as scp. The advantage of the rsync server is that it's a completely separate path that's optimized specifically for doing rsync, but the drawback is that you don't get to use ssh's encryption and authentication. > Derek mentioned samba.

I think setting up Samba is even more complicated than setting up an rssh chroot and requires even more knowledge to do it properly and securely, but YMMV. :) -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
