similar to: Improving the rsync protocol (RE: Rsync dies)

I'm finding curl's [http://curl.sourceforge.net/] --interface option useful. It lets you specify which network interface to use. It's handy if you have a slow interface and a fast one, and you want to force traffic over the fast one. I'm running an older version of AIX that doesn't make it convenient to change the default interface, and doesn't load-balance over

Would it be worthwhile to have an option to check for the presence of the temporary dot file in the target directory and to warn the user that the file is already being transfered? Something like: --skip-in-progress-files ? We usually transfer files via a cron job, but sometimes impatient people try to push stuff out, not knowing the file is already being copied, and disk space and

For me, rsync is an indispensable tool. I don't know what I'd do without it. Rsync and OpenSSH make our open systems possible. Of course, we wouldn't NEED them so much if we had better distributed file systems, but let's keep this an upbeat message. :-) I'd like to thank Andrew and Paul for giving birth to it, Wayne for nurturing it, and everyone else for providing

Hi, I was able to rsync files from Windows 2000 to Solaris 8 but when I opened the text files with vi on solaris, a '^M' char was appended to each line of the files. My question is how to get rid of that '^M' when rsync'ing ? I suspect this is because Windows and Unix treat line feed/carriage return differently, but I just do not want that '^M' shown in the files after

This may be, or may not be a security issue, however, since alot of people still use tripwire-1.2 or lesser versions(this is what shipped with R.H. Linux 5.2 at least), they might be interested in following detail: Chuck Campbell (campbell@neosoft.com) pointed me out that tripwire dies with coredump on R.H. linux, if it hits a filename containing 128-255 characters. Playing a bit with debugger I

Dear All, I'm using Centos5 to run a firewall, and as part of the intrusion detection apparatus, I use tripwire (tripwire-2.4.1.1-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm - as made for fedora core 6, and then tweaked with my own twpol.txt). My problem, is that when I su to root, a .xauth file is created with a random tail name - i.e. /root/.xauthyN4aHS or /root/.xauth1sGdFh and this causes tripwire to

Hi folks, on CentOS 6.5 I run tripwire software which verifies data integrity. My system is automatically updated by yum (as far as I understand the /etc/cron.daily/0yum.cron is responsible for the regular system updates). After a system update I'm then notified by tripwire about the changes on the file system. By browsing those tripwire reports I found that there are files which did

I'm trying to run tripwire on a RHEL 5.4 box. I'm new to it. I'm getting errors: The object: "/ora" is on a different file system...ignoring. For one thing, it's not a different file system. It's not any different than the root partition, that tripwire will monitor. And I want tripwire to monitor it. I've been googling around, and have seen this error in

Hi, I literally have about 36 machines running CentOS on a private network, and will probably change the remaining 30 or so away from Whitebox or RH in the near term. One thing I just noticed was when I tried to search out Tripwire RPM's, that none seemed evident. Can anyone point me in the direction of an Tripwire RPM that works with CentOS 4.3, or advise me on how to create one from the

Hello all, Years ago, I used to work with tripwire for system monitoring. Last time I checked with "yum search tripwire", there is no hit. IIRC, it used to be packed by default on older Redhat distros. Any suggestion for an alternative of tripwire for my CentOS 5.6?

Wayne: If anybody can make that work, I'd bet you could. The basic rsync algorythm is in place, so as you say, it would mostly be a matter of list generation. You'd have to hold on to any files with <1 link, in a seperate list, to find all the linkage relationships, which could grow a bit, but it does sound more efficient. Maybe a third pipe to send the files over as you go?

I have an updated tripwire port which I'd like to release for testing prior to replacing the existing and currently broken tripwire port. I've tested it under the upcoming 6.1, which it seems to work well in my test environment and will commence testing under 4.11-STABLE, the upcoming 5.5, and 7.0-CURRENT. The things that are on my todo list are: - Fully test under 4.11-STABLE. -

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or

I am stumped here. I am a novice at using samba to do MS Active Directory stuff, but I have read everything I could find in the HOWTO collection and on the linux.samba cache of the list and am still stuck. A bit of background... I have set up a Windows 2003 server as a domain controller here and configured it to be the DNS for a ficticious domain for internal use only. The domain functional

I'm rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository to a different machine and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Should I use --archive? Or maybe -rlD instead? Can I restrict an SSH key to rsync? I can do it with rdiff-backup with command="rdiff-backup --server" but I can't figure out how to do it with rsync. The rdiff-backup repository I'm

I need to access several Windows domain shares from my linux box. I can access both shares from a Win box where I use my domain login.

Hi, I''m trying to run ntpdate from domain zero and getting weird results. This used to work (prior to using xen). Is this related to xen at all or an entirely unrelated issue?
