of course you could use RSA
generate DSA private and public key pair
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f id_dsa (no pass key)
gives
id_dsa (private)
id_dsa.pub (public)
put them in users ~/.ssh (700) directory
copy the public key to the remote server that is to be accessed without password authentication.
Add it to .ssh/authorized_keys (600)
Implement any restrictions with from="hostname",command="/home/plone/.ssh/validate-rsync" preceding the key block
hostname given by hostname command on the server
Debug using ssh-v and make sure the hostname matches
