[TriLUG] how-to: preshare ssh key

[Warren Myers]

Ron - the rsyncd man pages don't look exactly the clearest, so I'm going to
ask:

My specific problem is that I have a master repository of content that may
or may not be updated, but must be replicated from a parent server to too
child servers if it is updated.

If the repository *is* updated, new data will be on the order of gigabytes
(these are os images).

If using rsync in daemon mode makes sense, I will definitely need some
assistance as I've only ever been on the receiving end of rsyncs in the past
(I'm a mirror for m0n0wall).

Thanks,
WMM
