Greetings !
                                                      
                                         
how to disable ssh password for rysnc without
generating ssh keys,
                                                      
                                         
- then i tried using "--password-file" option but it
is not
  picking password from "password" file
                                                      
                                         
- "password" file is present on the backup server
                                                      
                                         
- i don't know how to RYSNC_PASSWORD, whether it
supports
  ssh password or not.
                                                      
                                         
                                                      
                                         
SCRIPT
=======
set $(date)
                                                      
                                         
                                                      
                                         
rsync -e ssh  -avz --delete
--passwrod-file=/root/password
root at 192.192.192.180:/home/sal/ /home/backuplt/sal/ 
2>&1 >
/var/log/backuplt_log/sal_backup_$6-$4-$3-$2.log
                                                      
                                         
                                                      
                                         
So, why it is not picking password from password file
and any other idea to pass ssh password to rsync
without prompting it. 
                                                      
                                         
Is there any syntax error in my script.
                                                      
                                         
                                                      
                                         
Any help appreciated.
