...just got a script going that repeats every 5 seconds, that uses rsync to send data from A, running Ubuntu V6.06.1, to B, running cygwin. I got stuck on the issue of preventing the password prompt from interrupting the script. The problem is that the man pages are misleading, they suggest that RSYNC_PASSWORD and --password-file are the answer. That might have been true in the past, but now they just don't work, as far as I can tell. The documentation needs to say up front that the right way to do it is to use ssh-keygen on A, to create a public key file id_dsa.pub. Then to install that key...

I get an error stating "password file must not be other-accessible continuing without password file using RSYNC_PASSWORD environment variable. @ERROR: auth failed on module serverbu" I tried "set rsync_password=password" as well but that doesn't work either. Any ideas on how I can get this working with passwords. Thanks, Mike Winfrey

Hi As I want to automate my Desktop backup process, I'm currently trying to finilize a CMD (Windows XP batch) file in order to save different data (outlook.pst, \desktop, \docs, \Favorites ....). My problem is that even with this parameter SET RSYNC_PASSWORD=xxxx It still ask me for a password, blocking of course all the process automation. I'm running either on my Linux backup box (RedHat9 v2.40) or on my PC, version 2.6.2 of rsync, assuming it is the latest. Thanks in advance, Regards, Bart.

I have run across an interesting issue when running rsync from Solaris to an rsync daemon on Linux. It works properly when I specify the password on the command line: RSYNC_PASSWORD=the_Password rsync -r /tmp/test test_user@test_server::test_user/topdir/subdir However, if I do not specify the password on the command line and am prompted interactively, it always fails. After some investigation I find that Solaris getpass() returns a maximum of PASS_MAX bytes which on our sy...

The man page for rsync(1) states: --password-file This option allows you to provide a password in a file for accessing a remote rsync server. Note that this option is only useful when accessing an rsync server using the built in trans- port, not when using a remote shell as the transport. The file must not be world readable. It should contain just the password as a single line.

In authenticate.c:auth_client, the code tries to read from the password file, then tries the RSYNC_PASSWORD env var, then calls getpass(3). This last step is causing problems as, even though the script is intended to run unattended, it stops at the password prompt. This only happens when running with a controlling tty (more specifically, without a controlling tty getpass(3) can't open /dev/tty), for...

Hi, I have two Fedora box and rsync running on both systems. One system ip is 192.168.1.110 and the other is 192.168.1.71. I run manually for the following commands in both systems. my problem is whenever run it asking the user passwd and i cannot run the same automatically using crontab. My question is how to avoid the passwd option... rsync -aPrv rsync://192.168.1.110/detailing/

Hi All, We have clients which dynamic IPs which we have setup with <host>.dyndns.org addresses. We have added these to the rsync.conf 'hosts allow=" but they are being denied access.. Is there anyway around this? Matt

People, This doesn't seem possible - would it be possible to hack a version of rsync to do it? As an exercise, I want to create a VM image (or at least backup of all the files with rsync) from a SCSI drive in an old Red Hat (NOT Enterprise) v5.2 Linux 486 machine (circa 1999 that does have rsync on it but it has protocol problems talking my server). The 486 has: - an ISA Adaptec 1542
