Netware cannot handle the public/private key authenticataion.&nbsp; It
supports it, but gets permission for what your allowed to do from an
LDAP server, the only way it queries an LDAP server is if you type the
password.&nbsp; The key method results in no query made to the LDAP server
giving no permission to access the console and execute commands.<br>
<br>
Security is not an issue because the backups will be running on an
isolated internal network with both campuses devoid of personel while
they are running.&nbsp; And its just a buch of Primary and Highschool
students assignments.&nbsp; Who really wants to steal that??<br>

should work fine; just be a bit slow, and not as easily securable as rsync +

do you not want ssh because of the encryption overhead, or because your
Netware servers can't handle rsync + ssh?

I think encryption can be turned off on ssh; in case you just want to use it
as a tunnelling mechansim. I'd personally prefer to encrypt it tho... cut
down the risk of someone sniffing your backups off the wire and getting
access to everyone's data.
