...he remote system would save more; elsewise I don't see how I'm going to be able to avoid untarring and uncompressing the whole xz file on the other end. thanks much, ed On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 8:36 PM, Mike Hodson <mystica at gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 8:07 PM, Ed Peschko <horos22 at gmail.com> wrote: >> >> All, >> >> I'm working in an environment *very* restricted by space, and need to >> sync from that location to another location. >> >> So I'd like to be able to sync from a source that is not a filesystem, &...

hey.. I talked to my sysadmins about getting access to the dtrace_kernel role, and they said they were hesitant to give this out because they thought it was a security risk - ie: that you could use it for privilege escalation. How true is this? Is there a way to make it user safe? If not, why is it offered as an option for regular users? Thanks much, Ed -- This message posted from

All, A bit of background: I work on a QA API on a network that is very choppy (a lot of network interrupts), and we use ssh to do a large part of this automation. This leads to some problems: ssh connections seem to be sensitive to network state, becoming unusable if the choppiness reaches a certain threshold, and either timing out or disconnecting if this happens. Anyways, I stumbled across

hey all, I'm using openssh-3.5p1, was trying to set up a 'reverse telnet' session (sun solaris 2.6 on both machines). Anyways, I was doing: server% ssh -R 1111:<server>:2222 <client> client% ssh -p 1111 <client> where <server> is behind a firewall and <client> cannot reach <server> Anyways the idea was to connect to the socket on

hey, I was wondering - is there an option to rsync which allows you to exclude transfers of files with a certain size or other characteristics? I want to setup a 'partial' rsync mirror where I only pull files under 5M, for example.. I see the option for including/excluding file names in the usage, but not file sizes.. Ed

hey, I just got an ugly, hard-to-fix surpirse when I upgraded from 3.6 to 3.7 for openssh - Now, in 3.7.1, /etc/default/login overrides --with-default-path! Before, it used to prefer --with-default-path (as configured). I'm hoping that this is a bug. It forces every user to have an appropriate .login,.cshrc, or whatever *or* to comment out the appropriate entries in / etc/default/login!

hey all 'scp -r ' follows symlinks. IMO this is a bug and should be changed - it: a) hampers the use of scp. As it stands, I cannot use 'scp -r' because of this behavior. If someone links to '/', or if I hit a recursive symlink, I'm screwed. b) It is inconsistant with cp. When you 'cp -r' on a file, it does NOT follow the symlink. When you scp

All, I'm working in an environment *very* restricted by space, and need to sync from that location to another location. So I'd like to be able to sync from a source that is not a filesystem, like a compressed tarball. Is this possible with the --files-from argument (or some other such argument)? If not, what approach would people suggest in adding it? thanks much for any support, ed

hey all, I was wondering if openssh did ftp via ssl connection - or if not - what unix package out there did this. I'd love to use sftp, but unfortunately the site I need to interface with only has ftp over ssl. Ed

hey all, I was looking for an openssh version that ran on Pocket PC - I need to be able to connect to a server from a Pocket PC in a secure fashion - and I was hoping that it was available in a form that would be usable by CF .Net. Any ideas on where I could get something like this? Is there a port of OpenSSH to pocketPC? Ed
