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 _/

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 ***

[My apologies if this question is deemed inappropriate for this list.] Using OpenSSH, is it possible for a program/script to copy files with known filenames from a remote server (running sshd), without allowing (interactive) ssh access to that server? I.e. ``ssh server ls'' or ``ssh server'' should not be possible (for security reasons), but ``scp server:file .'' should.

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 ->

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

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

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

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run?

Things that are still outstanding: 1) Solaris/Redhat/HPUX session.c patch. I've not seen a ya or na on Kevin's pam patch from the Solaris group. 2) Odd Redhat/Debian scp/ssh issues. .. I'm baffled, and I can't replicate the bug. Nor have I seen anything remotely like it reported. 3) SCO.. Is it happy yet for compiling? =) Completed: 1) mdoc2man.pl .. Commited into

rsync+ is ready to go onto HEAD. Could Jos or somebody else who's used the feature before please prepare a few paragraphs for the manpage explaining how they work? Either send a patch to the .yo files or just plain text. Thanks, -- Martin

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

We're thinking about putting rsync to use in our production environment. What we want to do is have a cron job running on a client that replicates files on the host every five minutes. We believe that some of the files will take longer than five minutes to complete. From the limited testing I've done it looks like the first rsync session correctly identifies the file as a candidate for

For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

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!

Hi, I have an application which is dying horrible deaths (i.e. segmentation faults) in mid-flight, in production... And of course, I should fix it. But while I find and fix the bugs, I found something I think should be different - I can work on submitting a patch, as it is quite simple, but I might be losing something on my rationale. When Mongrel segfaults, it does not -obviously- get to clean
