0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/local/bin/rsync -e /usr/local/bin/ssh -a /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group snoopy:/etc/
.
You will need to install ssh and rsync packages. This cron command runs every 10 minutes. "snoopy" is the name of the remote host, which should be set up to allow remote root ssh without prompting.
