hi Kai,
You can't.
Thats what I thought, I have been looking into using certificates and passphrases and that will have to be it!
Interesting - why not do a pull from the CentOS box? This would only work if the machines are local to each other!
I mount Windows Server 2003 as follows:
mount //[servername]/C$ /winmnts/[servername]/cdrive \ -o credentials=/root/sysaccess
/root/sysaccess - contains just two lines: username=[administrative account] password=[administrative account password]
Also, you'll need to have created the path "/winmnts/[servername]/cdrive" beforehand (as if you hadn't guessed that already)!
From here, I run the rsync command without the need for the -e option.
Of course, if the servers are in geographically different locations, then Kai's link is the way to go!
Cheers, Tkb.
