Hi Falko, The tutorial was very helpful, but I have one question: On page 2 you mention adding a line to authorized_keys: Code: command="/home/someuser/rsync/checkrsync",from="mirror.example.com",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAA[...]lSUom root@mirror I like this approach to limiting the access of the account being used, but I don't understand the syntax of the above code. For my purposes I need to allow the mirroring from multiple servers. Would it be possible to replace: Code: from="mirror.example.com", with Code: from="*.example.com", or even better (for my specific case) to eliminate the "from" clause altogether? Thx In Advance - The site is fantastic resource
Question answered ... I think I just found the documentation on the authorized_keys file in man sshd ... If I am understanding correctly, it looks like the "from=" directive is optional. Thanks again for the great tutorial, and great site!
