Sweet! Thanks for this (and just in case any of my administrators are listening, I won't be running it unattended...). Can we add it to the faq?

using (say) rsync tunneling through ssh? It looks (from the man pages) like

e.g., updating from the remote server,
rsync -a --rsh=ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:remote/path/ local/path
If you run this unattended, you should set up your ssh keys to allow this remote connection without password (or passphrase).
Cool, that's half the story...now, where in fink's config files can I put something like that so when I issue a fink command to install a binary package, it will run that rsync command to collect the appropriate deb file? With me supplying my password as required during the process of course.
