Rsync pairing

[Greg Deback (rsync)]

Okay, then you can do the following :
- create a dedicated group "rsync"
- chown/chmod /bin/rsync for that group only
- add a setgid to your script with that group
- use IP control in the rsyncd.conf to restrict users
Thus only allowed users can access the script, and only the script can
launch rsync
