Well, you have to run the daemon on one end and the application on another.

I did not know this was not encrypted transfer.
rsync has never had encryption. It's add on via ssh and such.
Interesting! I never thought of running the rsync daemon. It would have to be running on all of our hosts to mimic our current setup, and the "modules" would have to be figured out. I guess that if authentication is enabled, that username/passwords are sent in the clear, right?
They are not the account passwords, they are either typed or kept on separate files on both server and client. I don't know if they are sent on the clear or not.
They'd also have to be stored in clear-text on each end. That would be okay in our insular use case.
With permissions to read only by user. And can be kept on encrypted partition, so not accessible off-line. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
