similar to: scp without permitting shell access, possible?

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi, I tried to compile rsync2.5.3 on Solaris5.7, and I still got the same errors as Solaris5.8, can you please help me to look at the problem? I got error messages: Configure was run successfully, then I ran make, I got: "batch.c", line 408: operands have incompatible types: pointer to unsigned long ":" pointer to unsigned int cc: acomp failed for batch.c ***

I wrote a patch to make the number of times and and the delay between retries that ssh attempts to talk to ssh-agent configurable. This patch is indispensible when running multiple ssh sessions in parallel from a script (e.g. to run commands on a large number of hosts); without the patch, many ssh sessions simply fail because they cannot contact the agent, rendering the mechanism unusable. If

Here's a list of cosmetic changes I'd be willing to make to the code in order to make it more consistent, which stylisticly it currently is not. - separate function definitions by 2 newlines - put spaces after commas in arg lists - put spaces around assignments - remove trailing spaces - change space indents to tabs - fix multiline comments - remove redundant /* dw */ comments (Deborah

Does this version implement the ability to be run under Dan Bernstein's supervise/multilog utilities? I.e. can sshd be told not to daemonize and log all messages to stdout/stderr instead of syslog? Thanks, -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ "Modularity is not a hack." _/ _/ _/ -- D. J. Bernstein _/

OpenSSH still has this feature, SSH-1.2.27 no longer has it. Admittedly it can be useful sometimes, even though I'd prefer this to be done using a trivial shell wrapper, which would be the UNIX way of doing things. Not being able to call OpenSSH's ssh by another name (say ``ssh1'') can get in the way when having to maintain two versions of ssh in parallel because the ``ssh ->

Andrew and I thought it might be an interesting experiment to move rsync to using BitKeeper rather than CVS for source code control. For a project with rsync's size and activity CVS is actually fine, but it would be a nice "toe in the water" with BitKeeper to get some practical experience before possibly using it on larger projects. BK is moderately well-proven on open source

We have an application, running under ssh-agent, which fires off a large number of ssh processes, all of which try to talk to the agent through the UNIX domain socket under /tmp. When the agent is slow to respond and the listen queue fills up, connect()s start to fail with ECONNREFUSED, and ssh exits (agent authentication being used exclusively). To some extent this problem can be mitigated by

It appears to be possible to put comments in DSA key files, even though comments are not supported in those files: taiko:/depot/src/openssh-2.5.2p2% ./ssh-keygen -d -f mykey -C "comment" Generating public/private dsa key pair.

I see very odd results from rsync 2.4.7pre1, the latest cvs version (sept 12, i think was the last modified file). We have a number of network-attached storage devices. 10/100 ethernet, nfs2 mounted (under nfs3, they buffer deletes, and recursive deletions fail). Usually, these are kept syncronized across a wan by a nightly cronjob, We have a few we keep in reserve, which we syncronize

Currently the --write-batch option in addition to creating the batch files also syncs the target tree. I'm not sure whether this is always desired. So far the only way I have been able to come up with to prevent the target tree from being populated is the patch below; however, the top-level target directory is still created, so it is not complete. Does this sound like a worthwile addition to

This patch is against 3.0.2p1. It produces output like the first line in the example below for both v1 and v2 logins. Logging is turned on by sticking ``LogFingerprint yes'' in sshd_conf.

Hi everybody! Now that RSYNC has RSYNC+ included a good usage would be to use RSYNC+ to gather update-date, then multicast that on your hosts and process it. So my question is: does anyone know of a product which does reliable multicasting? (source available would be preferred) Simple pointers are appreciated; if noone has one I'm thinking about writing one myself. Thanks for all help!

Please find enclosed two patches for OpenSSH 3.1p1. The first patch solves a problem where sessions will be left "hanging" when you normally exit from a ssh shell (for example by logging out from the remote host via "exit" or "logout"). The problem seems to be that sshd (and some other parts of OpenSSH) doesn't check the return code and errno from waitpid() for
