similar to: Strange symbolic link behaviour?

Hi there, I'm trying to keep my laptop up-to-date with my desktop. For various reasons I have a number of directories which are soft-linked to directories on different machines on the network to which my desktop is connected. When I sync to my laptop with a command like rsync -vazu -e ssh ~/* --delete <destination> -L --copy-unsafe-links it does what I want, which is to copy

While setting up sieve on my email server I mistakenly setup a symlink (~/sieve/myfilter.svbin > ~/.dovecot.sieve) but I think that that should have been (~/sieve/myfilter.sieve > ~/.dovecot.sieve). I have fixed the mistake but dovecot/sieve still throws an error saying that the symlink still links to the wrong file. I have made sure the symlink is fixed (it links to

I''m running 2.6.6 on a red hat EL3 system. using the following command, rsync -rlptDvzL --stats --include=a/ --include=a/dir/ --include=a/dir/symlink/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/ --include=a/dir/symlink/dir2/dir3/ --exclude=''**'' /export/stuff remote::stuff I expect the "symlink" (which is really a symbolic link to a directory) to be preserved on the

Hi, I've been trying to get managesieve to work on our installation, but although almost everything works fine the symbolic link from .dovecot.sieve to the sieve dir gets created with a / in the beginning: drwx------ 4 vmail users 128 2010-04-08 18:35 . drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail users 144 2009-08-28 18:26 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail users 17 2010-04-08 18:35 .dovecot.sieve -> /sieve/ingo.sieve

Hi folks, I have a subtle problem with rsync that I'm hoping has a simple answer. I have a directory tree (call it /local) that I synchronize every night onto a group of about 100 machines. This works great. On a few of these machines, one of the subdirectories of /local (call it /local/stuff) needs to be a symbolic link to a directory on another device. So, the situation looks like this:

Hi All, I'm having some annoying problems with symbolic links. I'm not certain they relate to samba but hopefully sone here can help anyway. I have a linux ( Mandrake 10.1 ) machine sharing various directories ( samba 3.0.7 ) with a network of linux ( also MDK 10.1 ) and windows machines. Within the shared directories are a number of

The sieve plugin compares the modification dates of sieve source and compiled script and compiles the script only if necessary. When the managesieve extension is used, it creates a symbolic link for the script. In order to switch between scripts managesieve changes the link only. Therefore the sieve plugin should include the modification date of an symlink in its decision about compilation.

Hi All, I'm trying to build klibc against my own kernel source tree. The build goes fine, the problem is to install it. As usr/klibc/README asks, I've create a symlink called linux pointing to my kernel tree: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jul 2 16:18 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.22-rc6 anderson-herzer:/usr/local/src/klibc-1.5# export LANG=C anderson-herzer:/usr/local/src/klibc-1.5#

Here's a patch that adds support for the creation of hard links over SFTP. Hard links are not used very often nowdays, but they do still have their uses and this is currently the most often requested improvement for SSHFS. To detect hard links the st_nlink, st_dev and st_ino attributes are usually used. I'll also post patches adding extensions for these and other attributes. Please

Well, well, it is not really wine related i think, because it isnt working in no other wine instances either anymore (cedega or cxoffice), but at least maybe somebody could post some hint. whats the matter: my ultima online stopped working. i use it to play on several freeshards, and all of them stopped working AT ONCE. The get some error message when i try to log in. when did that happen?

Hi, K, Thanks for your feedback again! BTW, I tried to copy mail file from sent item folder which is default folder of Outlook 2013 to "Sent Messages" folder of Dovecot. I can see the mail files in this folder, but I don't see them under .Sent Messages folder like "new", "cur" and "tmp" folders. You have any idea where the mail files are copied??

Hi all, I've run into an issue we have with dovecot versions 2.0.12 through 2.0.14 on latest CentOS 6.2 when dealing with Maildirs located on NFS partitions. Although I saw Mr. Egbert's thread, his resolution does not work on our end. When dealing with users with over 500 messages in any of their Maildir folders, they occasionally receive an error from the server: Internal error

We have a new server running Red Hat 5.2EL. Windows machines can samba to the linux server with no problems, including symbolic links to the www directory. Our Mac OS 10.5.5 machines have a problem with symbolic links to the www directory. On the Mac computers, the symbolic links show up as an alias that cannot be followed. These same MAC computers can samba to the www directory via a symbolic

I do not know the command line for symbolic links. I created the symbolic link of /Centos/5 to /Centos/5.1 in Nautilus which does not have a method of changing a symbolic link. Only deleting it and creating a new one. Is there a command line to change /Centos/5 to link to /Centos/5.2 ? IMNSHO, anyone that has more than 2 Centos boxes should maintain their own local repo. Of course it

Hi List; To create the symbolic link, I read in the documenation that I have to type this command: # ln -s /usr/src/'uname -r' /usr/src/linux-2.4 1) What it means by 'uname -r'? 2) Why I have to create such symbolic link to do pointing for the kernel? For what exctly will be used with asterisk? 3) What is the relation between creating such symbolic link and build directory? Any

Hi, Using Samba 3.0.1 on SuSE Linux (follow symlinks on) we noticed the following behaviour: A symbolic link to a file gets overwritten (replaced) by the target-file contents if the symbolic link is saved from a windows client. This is not what we expected, because a link represents the file, and so all actions executed on the link should actually be executed on the target-file, not the link. I
