limiting allowed commands to rsync for a key

Hi there,
I have a no-passphrase key on a couple of remote machines which I use to rsync the /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/shadow files. I would like to restrict the no-passphrase key on the remote machines to only allow rsync to be run. When I put command="rsync" into the authorized_keys file, it just literally runs 'rsync' on the remote machine. What I would like is for the key to only allow commands that are running rsync to pass through the key. Is this possible?
Thanks
Denis
