any other alternative ? instead of pubkey. i can't distrubute the pubkey to my
client.

i try this in my LAN, it's work without ask me for the passwd. but failed for 2
remote server which are behind firewall. isn't it for the auto password
(--password-file=rsync.pwd) authetication have to go thru port 873 (default port
for rsync server ) ? althrough i started this daemon on port 22 ( rsync -p 22
--daemon ).

kindly advice
