[12:57] <imi> thanks
[15:05] <foo> I've got 2 ubuntu systems, primary and secondary. I want secondary to backup primary. I was going to create ssh keys between secondary and primary and run rsync... but if I do that, I believe someone from secondary can ssh into primary. Is there a way to only enable rsync somehow and not ssh for a specific IP or such? 
[15:06] <ahasenack> you can force a command in the authorized_keys for that key
[15:07] <foo> oh! Interesting, that might do it. This secondary system is at someone's property... it's probably fine but it would be a security risk. Granted, I guess someone would need to login to that system to do this so it may be fine
[15:07] <ahasenack> foo: check the sshd manpage, search for "AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT"
[15:08] <ahasenack> command="command"
[15:08] <ahasenack>              Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for authentication.  The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored. 
[15:12] <foo> ahasenack: thank you! 
[15:12] <foo> Testing now 
[15:17] <foo> ahasenack: ok, it seems to sorta be working, I just got to get the rsync command to actually work. command="/usr/bin/rsync -azv /home",no-port-forwarding ssh-ed25519 AAAA... doesn't seem to be working "protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?"
[15:25] <foo> jjjj/w 2
[17:30] <ahasenack> when rsync says that, it usually means there is "garbage" in the stream
[17:44] <ahasenack> this might be a bit more complicated than I thought
[17:44] <ahasenack> found this, maybe it helps: https://gist.github.com/jyap808/8700714
