RSYNC without keys or passwords prompts?

Hi,

I have to backup a SVN repository that is in a remote location, we have a openvpn tunnel fairly secured and with quite tight FW rules so I just want to use the direct "anonymous" rsync config restricting by requesting IP but is not working for me.
I went through a couple of tutorials and it seems to be fine.
Seems to me that I'm missing the tree while looking into the forest so I wonder if anyone of you can help me out with my config.

Thanks, here is the rsyncd.conf

Code:

log file = /var/log/rsync.log
max connections = 2




[svnsync]
        path = /svn
        uid = 0
        gid = 0
        hosts allow = 10.2.6.106 10.2.6.164
        read only = yes
        hosts deny = *

And this is the line I'm using to try to pull it.
10.3.6.28 Is the IP of the server running rsyncd

Code:

rsync -rza 10.3.6.28:svnsync /svnbkup

Sorry, my previous post was incorrect. Add the '-v -v -v' (or more) options to the rsync command to see the debugging output.

Thanks,
For some reason somewhere in my mind I tend to forget the verbose flags.

I'm using Mandriva and seems that the default behavior is to use -e ssh, so I needed to specufy rsync:// in the URL and problem solved.

Thanks so much for the tip.
