A small filing cabinet at the back of the brain creaks open, rust falling from
its hinges. A piece of paper catches upon a passing breeze. It is pulled
gracefully upwards and as it arcs into the field of vision, it can be
seen to read:

  "rsync-over-ssh"

With the right permissions on /usr/src and /usr/obj, a pair of SSHv2
keys and Kens idea about disk slices, we could be onto a winning
solution!

Cheers,
Mark
