The password is related to a rsync server,
when you communicate through the rsync port:
grep rsync /etc/services
rsync 873/tcp # rsync
rsync 873/udp # rsync
the authentication therefore is done against the rsync serverpassword.
Yo wanted to "file in" the ssh password?
Not possible in this way ...

Betreff: Re: password problem with rsync
First;
The file should not need nor be set execuatable. It's a test file as
far as rsync should be concerned. Now as to why it fails, that is
another issue and others that know the code will have to answer that.
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne
