+<p>rrsync -&#8288; a script to setup restricted rsync users via ssh logins</p>
+<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS<a href="#SYNOPSIS" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<pre><code>rrsync [-ro|-rw] [-munge] [-no-del] [-no-lock] DIR
+</code></pre>
+<p>The single non-option argument specifies the restricted <u>DIR</u> to use. It can be
+relative to the user's home directory or an absolute path.</p>
+<p>The online version of this manpage (that includes cross-linking of topics)
+is available at <a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rrsync.1">https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rrsync.1</a>.</p>
+<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION<a href="#DESCRIPTION" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<p>A user's ssh login can be restricted to only allow the running of an rsync
+transfer in one of two easy ways:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>forcing the running of the rrsync script</li>
+<li>forcing the running of an rsync daemon-over-ssh command.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Both of these setups use a feature of ssh that allows a command to be forced to
+run instead of an interactive shell. However, if the user's home shell is bash,
+please see <a href="#BASH_SECURITY_ISSUE">BASH SECURITY ISSUE</a> for a potential issue.</p>
+<p>To use the rrsync script, edit the user's <code>~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file and add
+a prefix like one of the following (followed by a space) in front of each
+ssh-key line that should be restricted:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<pre><code>command=&quot;rrsync DIR&quot;
+command=&quot;rrsync -ro DIR&quot;
+command=&quot;rrsync -munge -no-del DIR&quot;
+</code></pre>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Then, ensure that the rrsync script has your desired option restrictions. You
+may want to copy the script to a local bin dir with a unique name if you want
+to have multiple configurations. One or more rrsync options can be specified
+prior to the <u>DIR</u> if you want to further restrict the transfer.</p>
+<p>To use an rsync daemon setup, edit the user's <code>~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file and
+add a prefix like one of the following (followed by a space) in front of each
+ssh-key line that should be restricted:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<pre><code>command=&quot;rsync --server --daemon .&quot;
+command=&quot;rsync --server --daemon --config=/PATH/TO/rsyncd.conf .&quot;
+</code></pre>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Then, ensure that the rsyncd.conf file is created with one or more module names
+with the appropriate path and option restrictions. If rsync's
+<a href="rsync.1#dopt--config"><code>--config</code></a> option is omitted, it defaults to <code>~/rsyncd.conf</code>.
+See the <a href="rsyncd.conf.5"><strong>rsyncd.conf</strong>(5)</a> manpage for details of how to
+configure an rsync daemon.</p>
+<p>When using rrsync, there can be just one restricted dir per authorized key. A
+daemon setup, on the other hand, allows multiple module names inside the config
+file, each one with its own path setting.</p>
+<p>The remainder of this manpage is dedicated to using the rrsync script.</p>

+</dl>
+<h2 id="SECURITY_RESTRICTIONS">SECURITY RESTRICTIONS<a href="#SECURITY_RESTRICTIONS" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<p>The rrsync script validates the path arguments it is sent to try to restrict
+them to staying within the specified DIR.</p>
+<p>The rrsync script rejects rsync's <a href="rsync.1#opt--copy-links"><code>--copy-links</code></a> option (by
+default) so that a copy cannot dereference a symlink within the DIR to get to a
+file outside the DIR.</p>
+<p>The rrsync script rejects rsync's <a href="rsync.1#opt--protect-args"><code>--protect-args</code></a> (<code>-s</code>) option
+because it would allow options to be sent to the server-side that the script
+cannot check. If you want to support <code>--protect-args</code>, use a daemon-over-ssh
+setup.</p>
+<p>The rrsync script accepts just a subset of rsync's options that the real rsync
+uses when running the server command. A few extra convenience options are also
+included to help it to interact with BackupPC and accept some convenient user
+overrides.</p>
+<p>The script (or a copy of it) can be manually edited if you want it to customize
+the option handling.</p>
+<h2 id="BASH_SECURITY_ISSUE">BASH SECURITY ISSUE<a href="#BASH_SECURITY_ISSUE" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<p>If your users have bash set as their home shell, bash may try to be overly
+helpful and ensure that the user's login bashrc files are run prior to
+executing the forced command. This can be a problem if the user can somehow
+update their home bashrc files, perhaps via the restricted copy, a shared home
+directory, or something similar.</p>
+<p>One simple way to avoid the issue is to switch the user to a simpler shell,
+such as dash. When choosing the new home shell, make sure that you're not
+choosing bash in disguise, as it is unclear if it avoids the security issue.</p>
+<p>Another potential fix is to ensure that the user's home directory is not a
+shared mount and that they have no means of copying files outside of their
+restricted directories. This may require you to force the enabling of symlink
+munging on the server side.</p>
+<p>A future version of openssh may have a change to the handling of forced
+commands that allows it to avoid using the user's home shell.</p>
+<h2 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES<a href="#EXAMPLES" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<p>The <code>~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code> file might have lines in it like this:</p>
+<blockquote>

+command=&quot;rrsync -ro results&quot; ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAmk...
