The rsyncd.conf file controls authentication, access, logging and available modules. The file consists of modules and parameters. The file is line-based -- that is, each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, a module name or a parameter. Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Any line beginning with a hash (#) is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace.
Any line ending in a \ is "continued" on the next line in the customary UNIX fashion. The values following the equals sign in parameters are all either a string (no quotes needed) or a boolean, which may be given as yes/no, 0/1 or true/false. The rsync daemon is launched by specifying the --daemon option to rsync. You can launch it either via inetd, as a stand-alone daemon, or from an rsync client via a remote shell.

Part of my goal is to ensure no user intervention is required when the computer is restarted (for passwords, keys, or key managers). I like to backup some logging, mail, and configuration information sometimes on hosts across the network and Internet, and here is a way I have found to do it. You'll need these packages installed: rsyncopensshcron (or vixie-cron) Please note these instructions may be specific to Red Hat Linux versions 7.3, 9, and Fedora Core 3, but I hope they won't be too hard to adapt to almost any *NIX type OS.
First, I'll define some variables. I want to make sure that 'rsync' over 'ssh' works at all before I begin to automate the process, so I test it first as thisuser: $ rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/ and type in remoteuser@remotehost's password when prompted.
