Netware cannot handle the public/private key authenticataion. It
supports it, but gets permission for what your allowed to do from an
LDAP server, the only way it queries an LDAP server is if you type the
password. The key method results in no query made to the LDAP server
giving no permission to access the console and execute commands.
Security is not an issue because the backups will be running on an
isolated internal network with both campuses devoid of personel while
they are running. And its just a buch of Primary and Highschool
students assignments. Who really wants to steal that??

How well would this system work over a 2MBit link (cross campus link).
Does NFS handle it well, many overheads etc?
should work fine; just be a bit slow, and not as easily securable as rsync +
ssh.
Going to trigger a full tar + nfs backup now (Local LAN only) see how it
goes. Would still love an rsync related solution. Customisable rsynd
command to not call SSH.
do you not want ssh because of the encryption overhead, or because your
Netware servers can't handle rsync + ssh?
I think encryption can be turned off on ssh; in case you just want to use it
as a tunnelling mechansim. I'd personally prefer to encrypt it tho... cut
down the risk of someone sniffing your backups off the wire and getting
access to everyone's data.
