rsync-question

Hi managers,

Having successfully installed rsync on Tru64 5.1a, I was able to synchronize the
data on our anonymous ftp-server with a disk on an "access-server for
users"
All worked fine if I typed in as root (form the access-server):

/usr/bin/rsync -av --delete ftp:/ftp/pub /ftp

The ftp-disks were synchronized by using "key-login" for root through "ssh2"
running on both servers.

Now putting this into the the crontab-file, execution failed with the
error-message:

rsync: Failed to exec ssh: No such file or directory (2)

even putting the command into a script-file with the preceding lines:
#!/bin/csh
source /.cshrc
(csh is the root-login-shell and the /usr/bin-path is defined in /.cshrc)
results in the same error.

Any idea how to run rsync thb in the "crontab" ???

Thanks

Martin
