[TriLUG] rsync connections

[Reginald Reed]

If this is the direct command line you are using, its failing because you
probably don't have (and shouldn't generally) rsh enabled.  To use ssh, try
the following:

rsync -avze ssh /rtest poo:/rtest2

Once you get that going, then deal with ssh automatic ssh authentication.
