similar to: Send Password with RSYNC_PASSWORD ore --password-file

Here is the problem. I have a primary and a secondary web server. I want to sync the home directory paths on the primary server with the secondary server. I am fairly ignorant to rsync and wondering what is the best method of doing this and how would I call the procedure from say a "perl script". Both Servers are FreeBSD 4.2 and there are actually two directorys I want to sync 1)

Hi, Is there a network interface listen command for rsync so that for a system with multiple network cards and multiple IP addresses - rsync will only be visible on a defined interface and defined IPs? Like in samba?: e.g., bind interfaces only = True interfaces = eth0 193.xy.zz.aa 193.xy.zz.ab Can't seem to find such a thing in the documentation. Cheers, Lachlan.

Hi, Can anyone send me an example config file that makes use of ignore nonreadable timeout 600 When I try to put this in a module - rsync seems happy but it gets nasty logfile messages when a client connects to the server.

As root, I am trying to mirror a Redhat 7.3 Linux user area onto another Redhat 7.3 Linux box using rsync. This is using the following type of command: rsync -a -v --stats --safe-links However, rsync cannot mirror most of the user area because of the default permissions for the user areas. e.g., opendir(user1): Permission denied opendir(user2): Permission denied drwx------ 3 user1

Hi, just a small warning about something that has, like we experienced just last weekend, great consequences. We rsync more than 20 Netware servers through a mapping on an NT machine to central Rsync destination servers (also NT). Last weekend our clock changed to Daylight Savings Time. It appears that NT changes the file stamps on NTFS volumes accordingly (Q129574 on their suppor site). This

I have a number of vhosts configured with SuexecUserGroup to run the scripts with limited privileges and the dept. web-site on one of them. The problem is the webmaster can't read online context help which comes with the cms the site is using. Most help files (>2K) have *.php.html extension. *.php and *.html scripts both work as I suspect they should, but when it comes to *.php.html suexec

Hi all, This isn't a bug, its just a lapse in the documentation. I just got a script going that repeats every 5 seconds, that uses rsync to send data from A, running Ubuntu V6.06.1, to B, running cygwin. I got stuck on the issue of preventing the password prompt from interrupting the script. The problem is that the man pages are misleading, they suggest that RSYNC_PASSWORD and

There is a rather rambling tutorial at: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14admin/rsync/ (this does not have ssh tunnelling in there) Though for the following - if the files are owned by root - root will be the only one able to rsync them across? Maybe creating a special account with some extra file privaledges but not 100% root could get the job done for you? Lachlan. > I need to set-up

What should be the official behaviour here? I must admit some of my scripts probably have both trailing and non-trailing "/". But just played around until it was mirroring into the correct directory.

Hi i got two server webserver1 and webserver2 i want to rsync some data form webserver1 to webserver2 using a user called syncuser ( syncuser is added to the group apache : adduser -G apache syncuser ) here is my command : [root at web1 projects]# rsync -avzh /var/www/projects/beta-website1 syncuser at web2server:/var/www/projects syncuser at web2server password: building file list ... done

Is there any chance this can be added into the distribution as it sounds really nifty. Another suggestion unless I have read the following - would it be useful to have a command option in rsync to generate the file list by doing the "find" and outputting into a standard format? (As this would make it less OS specific or kludgy?) Cheers, Lachlan. At 16:06 19/11/01 -0500, you wrote:

Hi As I want to automate my Desktop backup process, I'm currently trying to finilize a CMD (Windows XP batch) file in order to save different data (outlook.pst, \desktop, \docs, \Favorites ....). My problem is that even with this parameter SET RSYNC_PASSWORD=xxxx It still ask me for a password, blocking of course all the process automation. I'm running either on my Linux backup box

Hi, First checking out http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html Following is output and error from trying to compile the latest openssh on SGI IRIX (using cc). Previous versions of openssh have compiled cleanly on this system using the following configure options. Is there a quick fix for this?

I have run across an interesting issue when running rsync from Solaris to an rsync daemon on Linux. It works properly when I specify the password on the command line: RSYNC_PASSWORD=the_Password rsync -r /tmp/test test_user@test_server::test_user/topdir/subdir However, if I do not specify the password on the command line and am prompted interactively, it always fails. After some

The man page for rsync(1) states: --password-file This option allows you to provide a password in a file for accessing a remote rsync server. Note that this option is only useful when accessing an rsync server using the built in trans- port, not when using a remote shell as the transport. The file must not be world readable. It should contain just the password as a single line.

I'm trying to set up an rsync daemon on my OS X machine to sync my remote subversion repositories.
