<p>... or do I need to establish my own SSH tunnel from master to
backup server?</p>
<p>I've set up my dedicated Cyrus backup server with tls_server_cert
and tls_server_key, and when I connect to port 2005 I see that
STARTTLS is offered:</p>
<p># nc localhost 2005<br>
* SASL PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5<br>
* STARTTLS<br>
* COMPRESS DEFLATE<br>
* OK rsync Cyrus backup server 3.0.11-Debian-3.0.11-1~bpo10+1<br>
STARTTLS<br>
NO command not implemented<br>
</p>
<p>But as shown, the STARTTLS command from the client is rejected.</p>
<p>I believe that DIGEST-MD5 gives me some level of privacy
(sync_test reports a security strength factor of 128) even without
TLS?</p>
