rsync - Dec 2003 - users home directorys

Hi All,

Is it possible for different users to sync their home directory's (which
reside on the same server) using rsync. By that I mean that usera will
using rsync to sync /home/usera and userb will sync /home/userb on the
same server but usera will not have access to /home/userb. I hope I am
making sense. I do not want to use ssh, just rsync. I have RTFMs but
they did not answer my question.

Thanks for your help

Paul

Rsync runs under the context of whatever user spawns its process.  So
assuming the users in question can access the machine with ssh to begin
with, they will have precisely as much - or as little - filesystem access
using rsync over ssh as they would opening a remote shell over ssh.
