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

Hi,
thanks, but actually the same users want to use rsync without the wrapper and it will cause inproper transfer.

Hello,
You could simply create a dedicated group, set up permissions to your script, and add only the desired remote users to that group.

Hi all,
I have an rsyncd installed on a host and I want to use it from a lot of clients. This rsync is not invoked directly but there is a shell script wrapper co set up parameters and environment.
My problem is that I do not want to allow any other rsync to be able to connect to the daemon. Is there any way to implement such feature?

Thanks
Andras
