Hi, I want to mirror a samba server (smb0) to a identical server (smb1) in my internal network. So far I can managed to do this from client (smb1), rsync -e ssh -auzpg 10.10.10.24:/home/MYDOMAIN /home rsync -e ssh -auzpg 10.10.10.24:/srv/ /srv I would like to automate this task without entering root password. But I'm little confused. Should I setup rsyncd.conf from the server and setuid/setgid for access? Then initiate connection from client with above commands using CRON? Regards, Norman -- That's one way. You could also do it with an expect script (use autoexpect), or you can tell your SSH server to authenticate with an SSH key. If you do it that way, you won't be prompted for a password. It's what I do for all of my remote servers. -John Davis -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
