Another feature of rsync modules that can be useful is that each module can specify a user and group thus one can rsync user directories between systems where the user names are the same but uid and gid may differ.
I have been looking at this all morning. Is there any way to auth with keys or something unique so I can script this securely? Iiuc, the only auth is done through these rsync user/pass pairs unless you do it with hosts etc.
I was also looking at unison/rsync to solve a problem, came across this, has potential for me.

I may have to connect to a Windows box - I'm not excited about that. I've made it work on Windows before - just dislike the inherent extra layer of setup glop one has to go through to do it.
