This is where it sets a sort of 60 second timeout if you don't set a timeout at all. As far as what it affects, I'm not that good with the code. I just know that my big syncs would die in almost exactly 1 minute unless I specified a timeout, and then would die at that timeout until i got it very large. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tools@willy

Sonu: I'm giving the whole history to the rsync list. If the tests i subscribed passed, yet you get that error, it's more in depth than i can go into. You've got 1 hour, let's hope somebody immediately recognizes the problem. I've got some ideas, but no time to explore any more for you. Gentlemen: does anybody see a quick resolution for Sonu? Looks like he's

The "-a" option (the "--links", "--perms", "--devices", and "--times" options are redundant, as they, as well as "--owner", "--group", and "--recursive" are implied by "-a" )does dictate that permissions on files being sent be brought over from the source. Are all files losing permissions, or only files

Gouri: close. Try "Ssh-keygen -p -P ''". You might argue that ssh should guess that -P imlplies -p, but that's an issue for your ssh maintainer. Also: you don't ordinarily distribute the private key. You need the PUBLIC key in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on any system you want to access with the private key. Maybe i'm seing your application backward, and you

The way gnutar "preserves" atime is by noting it before the read, and setting it back after the read, thus wiping out a legitimate setting of atime occuring during that interval. Yeah, the netapps mess with unix times. Did you notice that mtime and ctime always match? Now that I know you're on a netapp, though, your problems are solved. Snapshot and sync from the snapshot, then

- call me ignorant... but I am not above asking. Where do I define $RSYNC_SSH=ssh at? Thanks for the info!!

You brought up a very good point which described what rsync can and can not do. Because of the robustness of this application, we are trying to find a way to use rsync and replacing our current primitive system which uses tar and send the data over a small pipe. Since my last posting, I have thought about not using the "--delete"option and instead, gather a list of files to be

Approximated petitioner: Perhaps this will help. SunOS 5.7 Last change: 25 Jan 2002 5 User Commands rsync(1) -C, --cvs-exclude auto ignore files in the same way CVS does --existing only update files that already exist --ignore-existing ignore files that already exist

There's nothing in rsync to do that. How about making the files and directories all belong to another user, set the sticky bit and write for your rsync user on the directories, unset write for the files, and rsync that way, then chown afterwards? the updates to existing files will fail, leaving you only with new.

A: do you have a "hosts allow" or "hosts deny" in rsyncd.conf? B: what version are you using? It seems i've seen messages about rsyncd in some versions refusing to allow unresolvable names in. C: Are you able to access the rsyncd, and just wonder about the log entries, or are you unable to get in? If it's just a log complaint, I wouldn't worry about it. Most

You're set, unless you declined ssh in your cygwin installation (without cygwin, you're not doing rsync from windoze). It's just like unix, in that case. (Bonus clue: Under related commands for ssh, you'll find ssh-keygen). If you don't actually need to secure your content (you're not naked on the internet, for instance), you can just let rsync use plain old rsh

Ah... there's your answer. ssh is working fine, as you say, but you're invoking rsync without telling it to user ssh, so it's using rsh. If you've got this, you don't need rsyncd.conf. The syntax you're using tells rsync to use an external transport. rsync -e ssh file rmt_host:/tmp Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com 303.682.4917 Philips Semiconductor - Longmont TC 1880

the --pasword-file= option is only for passing a password to a rsync server, as you have set up with the rsync --daemon process. Your rsyncd.conf file is fine, too. The problem is that you aren't calling your rsync daemon from your commandline. You are trying to connect via rsync to host as axlink and start a 'rsync --sender' process, to transfer data within the ssh process.

I have a similar problem with rsync, though it's not consistent. sometimes, things just don't come over, and sometimes, things just don't get deleted. Repeated runs usually correct it. If it's the case of a directory being replaced with a non-directory, you'll have to add "--force" to get it to happen. Hope it helps. Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com

I just did a win2k install, and as I thought i'd remembered, it asked whether the hardware clock was UTC or localtime (and recommends localtime). Of course, I chose UTC, but most would probably follow MegaSloth's recommendation. I don't know how to change it on an already-installed system, though. Does anyone else?

Unless told otherwise, rsync uses rsh to contact the remote system.=20 Another popular option is ssh. Both of these protocols use the logged-in=20 username, unless specified otherwise. What rsync really does is "rsh=20 remotehost rsync --server-and-other-undocumented-options". If you can't=20 "rsh server rsync --version", rsync won't work with rsh. Same with ssh. I
