John -
That was EXACTLY what I was looking for...now to write it down.
I had my thinking process challenged :-) when I got an error message
upon trying to copy the key from the sender to the recipient: there is a
new server at the address so it's key is no longer valid. A little
editing in authorized_keys was needed.
This is the problem of visiting my server every year or so (and why I
like Linux - it just runs once setup!)....
Thank you again....
Todd

About a year and a half ago, someone answered a request on how to set
up rsync so that the encryption was automatically setup (wish I knew
more about the technical aspects). It has been in use for the time
since then and it has been great. Now I have to replace the
destination computer and setting up, what I call the encryption part,
is the part I have forgotten how to do. This is the command line:
/usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/
Is there anyone who can translate what I am trying to do?
Todd
its using a ssh server, you just need to setup SSH public keys.
look up ssh-keygen. for example (random howto found by google),
http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/ssh/ ... note, that you need to use a
blank 'passphrase' if you want automatic rsync sessions to run w/o
user intervention.
