Is there a way to force rsync to only permit connections over ssh? I tried closing 873 on the firewall, but that broke the script. Once the SSH connection is made over 22, how can I be sure that Rsync is running securely?
Thanks in advance,

You can use hosts allow=127.0.0.1 in your module definition in rsyncd.conf file. Only connections from 127.0.0.1 is allowed then.See manual page for rsync configuration file for more detailed info.
