/usr/bin/rsync -atu --rsh=ssh --temp-dir=/tmp --port=55555 --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync 
/etc/shadow root at ur-server:/etc/shadow

/usr/bin/rsync -atu --rsh=ssh --temp-dir=/tmp --port=55555 --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync 
/etc/passwd root at ur-server:/etc/passwd

/usr/bin/rsync -atu --rsh=ssh --temp-dir=/tmp --port=55555 --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync 
/etc/group root at ur-server:/etc/group

this rsync ur shadow / passwd / group files based on time stamp if newer 
file will be update
Note: allow root to connect to ssh to the remote machine without passwd
