--password-file
...adable.
It should contain just the password as a single line.
The trouble with this is that the file then shows up like this in an ls:
2 -rw------- 1 root wheel 9 Jan 24 2007 /var/
rsync.passwd.server.mount
2 -rw------- 1 root wheel 11 Jun 30 2007 /var/
rsync.passwd.serv2.moun2
2 -rw------- 1 root wheel 10 Jul 14 2008 /var/
rsync.passwd.tuesday.mountie
This tells everyone the exact length of each password (8 characters,
10, characters, and 9 characters, respectively).
Granted, it's not MUCH of a security issue, and I guess the password-
files can be stored so...
