- If a user is specified that differs from the user running
- dss, then rsync will use ssh for taking snapshots. This will
- only work if you set up a key-pair to allow rsync to proceed
- without asking for passwords.
+ If this option is given and its value differs from the local
+ host, then rsync uses ssh. Make sure there is no password
+ needed for the ssh connection. To achieve that, use public key
+ authentication for ssh and, if needed, set the remote user name
+ by using the --remote-user option.
