Securing Rsync

Mon Jan 27 17:38:43 EST 2003

I seem to remember that one of the links in "resources" at www.rsync.org
pointed to a page that talked about running rsync on a Win32. This page
warned for the use of passwords. But if it works, it works, right?

Kind regards,

I see no reason why that should be the case.
