I am wanting to synchronize two filesystems, probably with rsync, and<br>
I want to include owner/group/permissions as part of the<br>
synchronization.<br>
Files could be owned by anyone, so ideally the command would be issued as root.<br>
For root to connect to another host as root, absent someone typing a<br>
password, SSH keys could be exchanged, or one can use RSH and .rhosts<br>
(unencrypted).<br>
If my organization discourages the use of RSH and discourages the use<br>
of exchanging root's keys (but accepts the exchanging of non-root<br>
keys), what are my options?<br>
