I have found your notes before. I tried it, but I can't get it work. I
have problems to connect, but I think there is not a big different
between your method and [1]. The ssh-tunnel is working and I can use the
by "BackupPC_dump -f -v $name" established tunnel for an other
rsync-process.

The relevant conifg:

(This is actually a combination of your script and the on in [1]) Btw.
in your script you have defined a variable username, but you didn't use
it for the ssh-command.


Thanks,
Heinrich
