[webmin-l] syncmin password prompt

From: Roger B.A. K. <ro...@qu...> - 2005-11-23 07:34:40

When I build Syncmin jobs, they fail to execute.  When I run the command 
line manually, I see that a password prompt is being presented. 

What configuration considerations for sshd on the receiving system, or 
anything else for that matter, need I take into account to get around this?

On closer examination:

The module is setting --rsh=ssh *and* is using the --password-file= 
option. 

Doesn't the latter option only work with rsyncd operation?
