warning: rsync/sysadmin newbie question... I want to sync the web directory from my production server to my backup server (through ssh). rsync is working fine, except that it doesn't seem to authenticate my rsync user which is not a system user. If I run the command manually, sshd asks for the far end user's password. If I use that user's password, the files are rsynced to a

Hi all, I recently acquired a laptop which brings the grand total of computers at three. 1 laptop, 1 server, 1 desktop. Now the problem I want to solve is the following: Because I work on both my laptop and desktop I would like to sync data in my prj/ directory to my server. So when I logon I sync my data from to server to the computer I currently working on and when I logoff I sync the data

Hi list I have a strange problem. I've tried for the first time to install and use rsyncd. Rsync itself works it does everything that it should do, except ask for a password. Google and the manual wasn't helpful i just found howto's and no solution. Here is what i did: rsyncd.conf =========== pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid use chroot = yes read only = yes Simple example for

Hi, I am having one machine which i want to configure as a rsync server. Onthe machine I had kept the following file /etc/rsyncd.conf motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [rsync-test] path = /home/xidcit/test comment = XIDC Rsync Server uid = nobody gid = nobody read

I'm not really what you would call a linux newbie, but I managed to run into a problem with rsync that has me stumped. I want to conduct un-attended backups of various files and directories over about 3000 miles of Internet, so I chose sshd and rsync for the job. I wrote a pair of scripts to do the job, the first to run incremental tars on the localhost, the second to run the rsync client.

Ok I updated both systems to rsync-2.6.8 and found the info on setting strace on the server. Here are the trace logs, there are two calls the first is just the module list which finishes normally the second is the file list in the test module which fails after the list. By the way I have no idea what any of this means (sorry if I'm not supposed to post traces to the list)

Dear readers, Does anyone know how I can keep the file permissions on the destination side when I sync? This is what I have done so far. In /etc/rsyncd.conf on the server have I: ------------------------------------------------------- log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [server] path = / uid = root gid = root read only = yes

With the following server config: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [offsite] path = /media/external/ comment = Offsite backup read only = no hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/24 auth users = backup secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt uid = 0 gid = 0 I tried the following for --link-dest and they all tried to transfer all

I've run across a situation where I have a directory of .gz files. I do want to rsync this directory. I've tried without the --compress (because they are already compressed) but the files never get rsynced. Interactively, I get the following error: :rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045) In the /etc/rsyncd.log, for each of the files, I get:

Hi as I'm a real newbie to rsync I'd better apoligise if this is 'old hat'. I'm trying to get to grips with rsync and I've set up rysnc as a server on a redhat 8 linux pc using a simple rsyncd.conf I then tried to list some files placed in the rsync server by using a commandline shell to this server. I've called the server 'server'. But for some reason I

Hello, I have read through the list of previous issues regarding this issue but haven't been able to resolve mine. I apologize in advance for the long text and am probably doing some simple typo. I have two servers in my setup: *Server 1* Doing rsync with --link-dest daily and working as expected. I'm getting the hard links in the new daily directories. *Server 2* Running rsync daemon

Hi guys: First post for me on this list. THE PROBLEM =========== I have several linux servers (ranging from Redhat 7.3 to FC3) that use Rsync (version 2.6.8 and 2.6.7, read on for reasons) to backup their data. A typical rsync backup script looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/sh RSYNC_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD> rsync

Hi. While debugging some encfs errors in the logs, I realized they are being generated because rsync (chrooted inside a encfs file system, --reverse) is trying to access files like: /root/.popt, /etc/localtime etc. This doesn't seem to be related to ID-name mapping as I already have numeric ids enabled in config. Here is the relevant strace output: [pid 25549] chroot("/chroot")

My brain must be on knots somehow. I try to install rsync 3.x, which I know is in rpmforge repo for my architecture: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22214 http://packages.sw.be/rsync/ But yum does not find it, however I try. I have installed yum-priorities. Rpmforge is low priority. But still... yum erase rsync # erase v2.6 from base repo yum --disablerepo=\*

Hello, I set up an script witch connects my rsyncd server. But the IPs for rsyncd Server and Client have no DNS Name, and so rsync trys to lookup for a DNS Name for this IPs. This causes a long DNS Timeout! My question: is there a commandline option to disable this "feature"? Or can you give me quick "hack around"? Best regards -- Clemens Gesell <cgesell@astaro.de> |
