This isn't quite correct. If you use certificates for login instead of
passwords, the authorized_keys file can force the connection into some
program (via the "command" option). This could be used to permit only
rsync.

Good point. Ages ago I setup a couple of processes to do that, and it
has worked so well for so long that I forgot that I had done it that
way.
