Re: Cyrus backup: is traffic from master to backup server encrypted?

Answering my own question:

I do have to supply my own tunnel.  The Cyrus backup daemon currently 
(3.1.7) doesn't support the STARTTLS command.

             if (!strcmp(cmd.s, "Starttls") && tls_enabled()) {
                 prot_printf(backupd_out, "NO command not implemented\r\n");
                 eatline(backupd_in, c);
                 continue;
             }

Patrick: you are running the Cyrus sync server on port 2005, which does 
support TLS.  That's not the same as the backup server (at least in the 
3.x.x tree).  Note the difference in the OK line from the server.
