rsync (ssh) a fedora mirror

[alain volmat]

Hi Mike,

thanks for the information. Yam seems to be great.
However, it actually still doesn't solve my first
problem since its first choice is rsync, which mean
that I still need to use ssh in fact.
It seems to support lftp so if I can socksify lftp, I
should be able to get my mirror.
