Hi.
My goal is to use rsync to syncronize box1 and box2. On box2, I have a
tapedrive which I write the data I syncronize from box1 every night.
On box1, my /etc/rsyncd.conf looks like this:
root@box1# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
max connections = 1
syslog facility = local6
[tmp]
path = /tmp
read only = yes
comment = export of /tmp
hosts allow = box2
auth users = backupuser
[tmp-open]
path = /tmp
comment = export of /tmp
The command I run is:
root@box2# rsync -vvv --recursive --compress box1::tmp-open /tmp/box1-tmp/
[I get the same error with ::tmp and ::tmp-open.]
This is what rsync on box2 exits with:
opening tcp connection to box1 port 873
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (12 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=150): about to call exit(12)
In /var/log/messages on box1, I can see:
Aug 30 15:17:42 box1 rsyncd[7666]: reverse name lookup failed
Aug 30 15:17:42 box1 rsyncd[7666]: forward name lookup failed
I know that there is a DNS problem on my system so that would explain
why box1 cannot reverse lookup box2. My question is this, then: is this
why I cannot rsync box1 and box2? And if so, is there any way I can
tell rsync to not try to do that?
System configuration: RedHat 7.2, rsync version 2.4.6 protocol version 24
on Linux 2.4.18 x86.
Thanks for any replies,
Erik Enge.

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed; reverse lookups?
There were a lot of bugs in rsync 2.4.6 in those areas; upgrade to 2.5.5 first. - Dave Dykstra On Fri, Aug 30, 2002 at 03:24:56PM -0400, Erik Enge wrote:> Hi. > > My goal is to use rsync to syncronize box1 and box2.
