Need some help on setting up rsync
I need to "sync" a directory from a prod server to a test server. Rsync is working but it prompts for a password and I'd like to automate the process. The directory on the prod/source server is owned by root, and some subdirectories are only readable by root. On the test/destination servers, I can manipulate the permissions as necessary. So, I currently sudo on prod, run rsync from prod to myuserid@test, and enter my password. I tried to setup ssh keys but PermitRootLogin is set to "no" in sshd_config and I could not figure out how to setup the public keys so root (from prod) can connect as myuserid (on test). So my question is: how can I setup rsync to read the files from the source server as root, and sync to my test server as root (or a regular userid) without prompting for a password.
Thanks

ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd
OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7) OCF resource agents OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7)
NAME
ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd - Manages an rsync daemon
SYNOPSIS
rsyncd [start | stop | monitor | validate-all | meta-data]
DESCRIPTION
This script manages rsync daemon
SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
binpath
The rsync binary path. For example, "/usr/bin/rsync" (optional, string, default rsync)
conffile
The rsync daemon configuration file name with full path. For example, "/etc/rsyncd.conf" (optional, string, default /etc/rsyncd.conf)
bwlimit
This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. This option is most effective when using rsync with
large files (several megabytes and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of data are sent, then if rsync determines the
transfer was too fast, it will wait before sending the next data block. The result is an average transfer rate equaling the specified
limit. A value of zero specifies no limit. (optional, string, no default)
SUPPORTED ACTIONS
This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):
start
Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
stop
Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
monitor
Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 60s.
validate-all
Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
meta-data
Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.
EXAMPLE
The following is an example configuration for a rsyncd resource using the crm(8) shell:
primitive example_rsyncd ocf:heartbeat:rsyncd
op monitor depth="0" timeout="20s" interval="60s"
