Ok I'm not sure if you need to use ssh for your networks or for the
servers. If its for the latter with the default settings its not a
problem I never had to authenticate except for atrpms but I skipped it.
The thing with rsync is that it authenticates against the remote servers
rsyncd.conf file, so I'm going to assume you need to authenticate on the
remote servers that you are trying to mirror.
Chances are great I'm wrong and its because of your network but I don't
see how, could you explain that?, if this is the case.
You can also the password to rsync with the option --password-file=FILE
This is from man rsync, under the heading Connecting to a rsync server
over a remote shell.
In order to distinguish between the remote-shell user and the rsync
server user, you can use â-l userâ on your remote-shell command:
rsync -av --rsh="ssh -l ssh-user"
rsync-user@host::module[/path]
local-path
The "ssh-user" will be used at the ssh level; the "rsync-user"
will be
used to check against the rsyncd.conf on the remote host.
Hope this helps someway. I thought in your first post you were looking
for anon servers. Those are also look at the freshepms mailing list for
updates on the server status. atrpms and freshrpms have had problems
lately, I think they are fixed right now.
