Hi,
I've created a patch that introduces new setting: rsync_user.
Currently cobbler replicate would run 'rsync remote_server:...', so
the user will be assumed to be 'root'. For "paswordless" replications
this is not ideal, as making "paswordless" root account is generally
not a good idea.
This setting allows specifying any user on the remote system,
effectively changing rsync command to 'rsync user@remote_server:...'.
If not specified it will not append anything.
The new cobbler (2.x) uses rsyncd for replication with the native
rsync protocol I thought. Michael mentioned removing support for rsync
over ssh due to key problems. You can control the user that is ran on
the remote side by changing the rsyncd.conf template. Forgive my
ignorance, but does cobbler 2.x support replication over rsync/ssh?
