Hello - I'd like to encrypt rsync traffic over the wire, and for various reasons, I can't use ssh. I'd like to use SSL. Having spent the last day or so trying to wrap my brain around what that's going to take, I'm wondering if anyone has tried this before? Is it un-doable for one reason or another? TIA, -justinb

...o look into ssh's restricted command features if you don't wish to let users run certain commands via ssh (such as rsync). If you're wanting to secure the daemon mode access, use some kind of tunnel, such as stunnel to secure the socket connections: http://www.stunnel.org/examples/rsync_mike.html -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
