you have to create a rsa/dsa keypair without a passphrase
( ssh-keygen(1), just hit enter when asked for the passphrase ). 
save the public key on the remote maschine in
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys. then execute rsync with "-e ssh".

for security reasons it is strongly recommended to do this as
non privileged user( _not_ root). use sudo to execute commands
as root when necessary.
