    Hi,

    After getting BOBS to work on two of my linux machines at home, i have some questions. :)

    Just a query on the options used, in the session where i run ./cmdloop ive noticed this error/warning:
    WARNING: --rsh or -e option ignored when connecting to rsync daemon

    seems that is because BOBS is using rsync to login to a rsync server, so why use -e ssh?

    My goal is to use ssh, so ill set it up to login with no password.. any probs here?

    Also has anyone set BOBS up to backup a win32 machine, eg with cygwin,rsync -e ssh

    thanks,
    jonathan

      I think that warning is some legacy from my initial experiments.

      Regarding ssh logins. Well, I'm a bit rusty on the details. If you configure an ssh key manager then I believe it should work.
      If you can get it working on the commandline level then please send me the details of what is required to make it work (options to rsync and other things of importance.)
      Then we can implement it in bobs.

      Sorry for the late reply.
      Feel free to join the mailing list which is more likely to catch my attention faster.

      Cheers.
      Ren
