enabling rsync vs ssh replication and the other would enable rsyncd.conf management. What do you think?
Do we even need to allow rsync-over-SSH? It seems like it would be rather slow and the only use case I can think of is either (A) someone not having a VPN, and (B) being rather concerned about internal data security.
I am not sure having the replicator go over SSH really makes the installs any more secure than they already were.
How does it do it in cobbler 1.6.x? It certainly requires ssh for something. You don't scp the stuff because it only copies the changes. The ability to rsync over ssh is preferable in some use cases. Just don't make it the default.
