I am trying to use rsync with a non root user, but am getting errors because of permissions.
The three solutions seem to be:
1. use the root user for rsync - not ideal, as I'd like to disable root login over ssh
2. modifying the files permissions so that the non root user can read and write everything - easier, but it would be better to keep the files original permissions
3. allow the non root user to execute rsync as super user:
eg http://serverfault.com/questions/136549 ... both-sides
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... nd-folders
This seems to be the best way to go, but it needs sudo to work. Is it possible with a Freebsd system? I have passwordless ssh set up.
My first thought would be to make the rsync user's group wheel and somehow use "su". Or install sudo instead?
