By default now rsync uses ssh, so you probably have everything you need
already in place on your servers. What you'll need to do is create ssh
keys, and ensure that root can login directly via ssh (this is set in the
sshd_config file).
Some Google searches should turn up some good information on creating and
managing ssh keys, but here's one example that seems pretty good:
