Definitely practice in a scratch area, you'll get the feel for it. Good luck! | |

Well, is this insecure? Is it bad if I use it for the root user? Or should I create a new user? If I create a new user for ssh will they have access to the /home dir (for rsync) or will I have to add them to a group which will have access? :p Sorry for all the questions! :) This kinda stuff isn't answered in all certainty on the net. | |
