I'm trying to set up a back-up file server (192.168.123.3) that will rsync files from the main production file server (192.168.123.4). The production file server is set up to run rsync --daemon, and I know it is doing so because on my backup server I can execute rsync 192.168.123.4:: and get the list of modules as follows: etc home samba Here's my /etc/rsyncd.conf file uid =

The first time a Word or Excel file is opened, i.e., when either Word or Excel have not been actively running "recently" (like, say for several minutes or more), the time it takes to start the application and load the file seem inordinately long. Once the first evolution is complete, files open more-or-less instantly if I close the first document but leave either app running (but

Hello, Recently while working with rsync as the way to mirror large (several GB) archive on a regular basis, I came across several problems, and also got the ideas about their possible solutions - please could you investigate & consider implementing the features, described below, to future RSYNC releases ? - when the checksumming (consider very large archive, several GB) stage of rsync

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

Oh. Now i feel like an *enlightened* idiot. I 've always thought of a checksum, crc, or whatever as giving 1/2^^length certainty, and I have a sense that that knowing the file length adds another amount of certainty, though I can't quantify that. I just know that if the size doesn't match, the checksum doesn't matter. I'd never considered the implications of the

Hi, From v3.0.0 onwards the hash function implemented by Rsync was changed from MD4 to MD5 (http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.0-NEWS). My understanding is that MD5 is a more secure, slower version of MD4 but I am not convinced that the added security of MD5 would alone have merited the change from MD4 (particularly since MD4 is ~30% faster than MD5). I wonder if I am missing other

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.

Hello, I suspect a minor bug in the file rsync-2.5.4/backup.c line 206. To identify too-long pathnames, it makes the following test: if (strlen(backup_dir) + strlen(fname) > (MAXPATHLEN - 1)) I think that the constant subtracted off should be 2, to account both for the forward-slash and for the trailing zero in the following snprintf statement, line 211: snprintf(keep_name, sizeof

Hello everybody, I have written a shell script that makes the building of a Solaris package of rsync easier. Because I think it is useful for other Solaris user, I wold be very happy, if somebody would include it to the source tree. There is one little things to do: - include it in the auto-configuration process, so that the version number will be set correctly. So far, Jens ----- Script

I am trying to rsync a file of 10gb between an NT host running Cygwin 4.10 and a Solaris 8 host running rsync 2.5.1 but am having problems with what appears to be a 2gb file limit - the truncation point occurs at 2096111616 bytes. The target filesystem definately supports files over 2GB. Any ideas how to overcome this limitation? Regards, Craig Donnelly Andel Consulting 10 Fenchurch Avenue

What is the default block size? I have a few files 30+mb and data is just added to the end of them. It seems like it takes longer to sync them that it was to send it initially. Should I change the block size or something else? I am running: rsync -z -e ssh *.* user@linuxbox:data/ I need to use ssh because I am going over the internet and sending "company data". -------------- next

FYI, We've been using the 2.4.7pre1 release for several days now, with nary a hang problem. We haven't seen the EOF bug at all, which was what we upgraded for. This is with transfers of as much as 50GB to set up an initial mirror. The only thing we did was set timeout=0 -- which I guess is unnecessary. The semantics of this flag are a bit unclear. We thought was 'time since

I am having trouble with rsync when I am trying to synchronize a Windows NT volume mounted with smb_fs (FreeBSD) and a unix volume which is also exported with Samba. There are instances where the DOS short name on the NT volume ends up as upper case and then doesn't match filenames which are used in the unix volumes which have been exported by Samba. I don't know if this is a Samba

-----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

I recently installed rsync 2.5.5 on both my rsync server and client being used. I installed the latest version because I was having problems with rsync stalling with version 2.4.6 (I read that 2.5.5 was supposed to clear this up or at least give more appropriate errors). I am still having problems with rsync stalling even after upgrading to 2.5.5. It only stalls in the "/home" tree

Hi. When I discovered rsync, it immediately became one of my most indispensable utilities. It's a real godsend on bandwidth-limited links, especially digital cellular. It works remarkably well in the general case, but I think the algorithm could be improved for one very important special case. Many (or even most) of the updated files I transfer with rsync change only by stuff being appending

Hi all, I''m tring to convert some manually written iptables rules into a shorewall configuration but I''m facing some issue with mode statistic. In our outgoing smtp we balance the source IP address of outgoing connections originating from the firewall between 4 alias configured on eth0 interface: eth0 inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.18 Bcast:xxx.xxx.xxx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth0:1

Hello Forum, I have a problem with the strptime function. With the ''data1'' dataset below it works fine, but with the ''data2'' dataset something goes wrong (see final line below). Both data1 and data2 are in exactly the same original format, the only difference is that they span different dates. Please help, since it is driving me nuts! Many thanks. Best

Hi, Does rsync lock the source files while its copying? Any input is appreciated. Thank you Dietrich
