rsync - Oct 2005 - how to restrict rscync to ONLY use ssh-pubkey transport & auth?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: RIPEMD160

hi all,

i have two OSX boxes set up for ssh via pubkey auth only.

i'm setting up rsync comms for the first time.

i have rsyncd running on box A.

no-auth rsync from box B to/from box A's rsyncd works as expected.

rsync@B to/from rsyncd@A using pubkey-auth'd-ssh trasport:

	rsync --verbose --stats --recursive -e "ssh -F $MY_SSH_CONF -l
$MY_USER" /path_to_src_dir/*
BOX_A_FQDN::targetdir

ALSO works as expected.

i've easily managed to turn connection/sync-ing ON. so, how do i turn
specific access types OFF?

specifically, i'd like to limit rsync to ONLY allow the pubkey+ssh
transport, and NOT any other
channel?

high odds are that an option in rsyncd.conf already exists ... question is which
one/combo?
just not clear 2 me at the moment :-/

thx!

richard

sounds like a ssh configuration issue to me

don't know where that is configured on macs, but under linux/openssh it is 
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
