Re: [CentOS] rsync and passwords

Jim -

I have read the man pages, and with my lack of experience, they are not that clear. Do you have another reference to suggest?

To synchronize my server with the "standby" server, I run the following:

rsync -a -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/

As expected, I am asked for a password from the destination computer. Is there a way to avoid that so I can make a crontab to run the rsync nightly?

Set up ssh keys.
