 |

How would one go about mirroring a box securly? I can setup an rsync daemon but, that would enable any user to access the files.
If the file system I wish to mirror contains files with many permissions and ownerships, including root, how can I mirror it without allowing others on the network to also do so?

| well I know nothing about about rsync-servers... but I would suggest to configure iptables or see if it goes with tcp-wrappers... |

You can specify security options in the /etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf file on your rsync server.
The following settings would be of most interest to you:
| Code: | auth users = <your settings>
hosts allow = <your settings>
|
auth users - Allows you to specify a set of users that are allowed access to the module (comman space seperated).
hosts allow - Allows you to specify the DNS name or IP of computers allowed to access the module.
The following man pages have great information on these topics
Take care,
