similar to: rsync-2.5.4:backup.c possible bug

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear list members, there are two new rsync-features I made up and would like to discuss with you. If you think these new features might be useful for the whole rsync-community, please give me a note and I'll send you the patches (or post them here). 1.) Setting owner and/or group of backup files. In our servers I'm using rsync to backup

Hi All, We have clients which dynamic IPs which we have setup with <host>.dyndns.org addresses. We have added these to the rsync.conf 'hosts allow=" but they are being denied access.. Is there anyway around this? Matt

Is it possible to use rsync to synchronize the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/shadow- files under linux? Lui Bove AIM Funds Management Inc. 5140 Yonge St. Toronto, Ont.

Is anyone else concerned about the fact that rsync doesn't guarantee to produce identical file copies on the the target machine? Don't get me wrong in sounding critical because I think that rsync is a great example of how software should be written. (I often make the observation, as I learn more about Linux, and inevitably find myself comparing open source applications to Microsoft

Included below is a shar archive containing two patches that together: 1) make backup files get their setuid and setgid bits stripped by default 2) add a "-s" option that allows backup files to continue to have these privileges This means that if you update a collection of binaries with rsync, and one or more of them has a local-root security problem, the backup file(s) created when

Hi, How about adding now option '--backup-only' that means making backups only and don't change any destination files? (I posted similar patch a month ago, but the patch was made for nightly snapshot of 20020808, which was tooo old! Laugh at me...) I want to use rsync with LVM snapshot to make incremental backups like below: 1) Make LVM snapshot of file system and mount it.

I assume there's some good reason for the way filenames are faithfully maintained as temp files, but it's a little frustrating when you get "filename too long" messages as a result... with no indication of what file it was it's complaining about. The obvious fix is to simply generate a tmpname and have done with it. Possibly safer, truncate the filename, in case there's

hi, all. I had an problem with rsync-2.5.4/5 related to filename length. On Linux box (kernel-2.4.18 + ext3 fs), filename length limits to 255byte, but rsync can't handle fn > (255 -9) byte. So I had an instant hack to avoid this problem. Patch file attatched works fine in my case, but I'm not sure that it is correct or not. Any suggestions ? Please cc me, I'm not on this

As those of you who watch CVS will be aware Wayne has been making progress in reducing memory requirements of rsync. Much of what he has done has been the product of discussions between he and myself that started a month ago with John Van Essen. Most recently Wayne has changed how the file_struct and its associated data are allocated, eliminating the string areas. Most of these changes have been

Dear developers, recently I tried to compile kerberos4 authentization support in openssh-3.5p1 on Redhat 8.0, unfortunately autentization against kerberos server in a kerberos4 realm doesn't work well, probably due to the bug in auth-krb4.c. My colleague David Komanek wrote patch to this file solving the problem, so credits goes to him. I'm sending this here, believing that it can help

By the way, I noticed in the previous IdentityFile patch I forgot to expand tilde. I fixed this by making the change in ssh.c instead of readconf.c, which is probably where it belongs, as far as the existing code is concerned: diff -ur openssh-3.0.2p1/auth.c openssh-3.0.2p1I/auth.c --- openssh-3.0.2p1/auth.c Sun Nov 11 17:06:07 2001 +++ openssh-3.0.2p1I/auth.c Sun Jan 27 12:05:14 2002 @@ -44,7

Hello, about a year ago I ran into situation where there's a "metadirectory" containing directories and symlinks to files. There was a need to mirror the contents of files and directories gathered via symlinks to this metadirectory, regular mirroring of the tree wouldn't do any good. The attached patch gives the user ability to define how many symbolic links rsync should follow

Running rsync 2.4.7pre1, using the --backup-dir option, I just realized today that file ownerships and permissions of backed up files are not preserved. In other words, if rsync moves an obsolete file to the backup dir, it's ownership seems to revert to root:root, and permissions change, as well. We are also using the -a (archive) option, by the way, which should mean "preserve

Here is a patch to allow private key files to be placed system wide (for all users) in a secure (non-NFS) mounted location on systems where home directories are NFS mounted. This is especially important for users who use blank passphrases rather than ssh-agent (a good example of where this is necessary is for tunnelling lpd through ssh on systems that run lpd as user lp). IdentityFile now accepts

Recently various needs for multiple version handling were discussed and I put forward a plan of mine. Subsequently the proposal for a --compare-file=<FILE> switch had support, so I have implemented this. I have also implemented an experimental --compare-auto which decides which file to match against using a rule. Instructions for patch: 1. Install rsync-2.5.6 source 2. "patch -p1

Here is the user-dependent IdentityFile patch for openssh3.5 (BSD version), which allows private key files to be placed system wide (for all users) in a secure (non-NFS) mounted location. This addresses an important security hole on systems where home directories are NFS mounted, particularly if there are users who use blank passphrases (or when lpd is tunneled through ssh on systems running lpd

Hi guys, I recently stumbled across what I think is an rsync bug. The problem was I was trying to rsync from one CVS checkout, to another, and was using rsync -Cavz to do the job. In this CVS module, there happens to be two sub-directories with the names of "core" and "tags" respectively, which were ignored, since these names matched the default CVS ignore list. When rsync
