[Bigsister-general] ssh tunneling

[tomasz abramowicz <suppressed>]

hi all,

i have two bigsister servers A and B.

both have a fair amount of agents sending them stati.

agents send all info thru stunnel (http://www.stunnel.org/)

i have server B sending server A the stati using the %rsync,
however this is not encrypted.
how do i set up encryption between the servers?
please notice, that i have read the documentation regarding

"Tunneling Big Sister tcp- connections through Secure Shell"
( http://www.joerg.cc/html/bigsis/ch03.html#sshtunnel )

however, both servers A and B are already listening on localhost:1985 (stunnel)
and stunnel sends locally the information to localhost:1984 where
bigsister is listening.

so if i write on server B:
%Rsync serverA:1985 none ALL
it will send the information un-encrypted.
but if i write on server B:
%Rsync localhost:1984 none ALL
it will be fed into server B and not server A.
if i write on server B:
%Rsync localhost:1985 none ALL
nothing happens, because the information is already unencrypted.

this leads me to believe that I need to use different port
for the server to server communication.

so should i start another stunnel process on server B which listens
on 1986, encrypts, and sends to server A on 1986, which in turn in
listening on 1986 and forwards unencrypted to localhost 1984?

and therefore write on server B
%Rsync localhost:1986 none ALL

?

any tips or help is greatly appreciated,
t.
