rsync and tunneling via ssh

This is what I do right now, however I would 
rather do what Jean-Gabriel was trying because 
then I have logging done on the server. Currently, 
I log to the client and rsync the log, however, it 
is easy for the customer to get more info than I 
would like.  So, my point is unless the rsyncing 
is within the same group, it is better to use the 
daemon and ssh tunneling for improved security and 
robustness of the service.  ( I have tried what 
Jean-Gabriel was trying already and gave up for now. )
