what the hec... I'll be nice...

if your running the rsync daemon then you don't use/need ssh...  The cron
runs rsync which connects to the daemon on the server and transfers files...
make sure you have a hole in your firewall for it and I would suggest a
firewall (like mine) that controls access to the port by ip...  I say this
becasue rsync as a daemon is dangerous and the cause of most security
holes...

man rsync
man rsyncd.conf
