The rsync is a "pull" from the client system inititated by a cron. There
can be some simple logic in the pull script such as "if (-f post.pl)
{post.pl} and post.pl nukes itself after running.

The keys are _presummed_ safe. Bad form, yes. There are some other
things that can be done to prevent unauth'ed access to updates. md5sum
the previous update pile(s) as a verification that the system doing the
pull has a need, blah, blah, etc...

There is no perfect solution to the remote key problem. Any key stored
can be accessed. The key could be distributed amongst the various files
on the system. Security through obscurity...
