Hi Jeffrey, At the risk of spamming the list again, I apologise. I only joined the list and the "forum" immediately before the post. And, I agree that I *thought* "this is a topic-based forum rather than a mailing list" - I went to www.backupcentral.com, selected the menu "Forums" and them "Open Source BackupPC" - it looked like a forum to me. Now I know :-)
Anyway, the (mailing list) post I was referring to was http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/rsyncd-over-ssh-79117/ which relates to running BackupPC using rsync's "daemon" mode tunnelled over SSH. I've since got Joe's modifications which enable this and I'll let you know how I get on. FYI, the key issue for me is that I want to tunnel over SSH, but am not happy to allow un-checked root access to the target machine(s) - rsync's "daemon" mode tunnelled over SSH is a good balance. Cheers, Daniel. On Thu, 2009-05-21 at 15:35 -0400, Jeffrey J.
