Is there any way to do the equivalent of running rsync from an entry in inetd.conf that can be done by a non-provileged user?
I want to run rsync from cron to backup files to a couple of places where I have shell logins (but not the privilege to make additions to inetd.conf).
I suppose I could just run rsync in daemon mode using a cron job on the remote system (and kill it later) at the right time but that seems a little crude.
rsync with it's transport set as ssh will automagically start a daemon on the remote end as the user you're running as, so I'm not sure what you mean here...
I don't think I run a "real" rsync daemon anywhere, I simply let it do it's stuff over an ssh session.
