[X-Unix] rsync/ssh help

[Russell McGaha]

Marlry;
	THANKS, for the reply.  Tried your suggestion, but it didn't work.   
The remote still asks me for my password.  Don't know if it makes a  
difference; but it's a 10.4.5 Mac going to a 10.3.9 Mac.
	Any further suggestion; anyone??

Russell

P.S.  Just so happens, while I'm here at work the two machines are  
side by side.  My work machine has an external IP that I'm trying to  
connect thru.
