Subject: trusted hosts with rsync

Hi,

I'm using rsync to transfer a file from an embedded device to the central
server. Now the problem is, i can't get create and get a key over to the
central server since the server doesn't know what clients are gonna connect
so I'm using the unencrypted rsync method with the "::" operator.
Now how can I get a range of trusted hosts so the server wouldn't be asking
for a password? Right now I'm just using the --password-file option like:
rsync -av --password-file=pwd ./log_record
root@192.168.101.3::PRG-LOG/log_record_T1111 but i would like to define a
trusted IP range or something on the server, is this possible?
If yes, how?

Thank you for your help!
