similar to: restricting rsync over ssh

Hi, I am trying to mirror a server every night using rsync. I have to backup multiple directories and multiple individual files. I also want to use ssh as transport. The problem is that I cannot get ssh to work without asking password for each step. I tried the public key thing but it doesnt work. Can some one give instructions for a layman like me. Also I want to know how to pass argument to

This is my first post so first of all I will say hello to everyone. I have rsync configured and working properly on my local network however when I try to connect from a remote host (one located in a different state) the connection times out. I was wondering if there was another way to set the timeout besides in the rsyncd.conf file? As I said the connection works fine on the internal lan, but

Here is a newbie question. Hope, you will not mind. I am trying to backup a file from my NT machine onto AIX machine.

Hi, I have a rsync server set up.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Here's a snip of my log (very similar setup, but from server to remotes): 2001/05/17 14:26:59 [29226] rsync on ToolSyncModules/ToolSyncModuleList from irvnetsvr (134.27.9.31) 2001/05/17 14:27:00 [29226] wrote 23292 bytes read 128 bytes total size 23179 2001/05/17 14:27:01 [29227] rsync on ToolSyncModules/ToolSyncMastersList from irvnetsvr

I just installed rsync on two machines, I think I'm a complete moron, and I need a clue bat. The remote machine's /etc/rsyncd.conf (just for testing): use chroot = no log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [auth] path = /var/www/auth comment = apache authentication files. read only = yes Then for a test, I fired up

A while back, I asked if there had been any consideration in making rsync support direct ssl (as opposed to just ssh). I've been looking around for a secure way (e.g. encrypted, so passwords are never in the clear, and even content is obscured from sniffers) to allow a set of limited-trust users (limited-trust being defined as mostly customers, whom you trust with their own data, but not with

A: do you have a "hosts allow" or "hosts deny" in rsyncd.conf? B: what version are you using? It seems i've seen messages about rsyncd in some versions refusing to allow unresolvable names in. C: Are you able to access the rsyncd, and just wonder about the log entries, or are you unable to get in? If it's just a log complaint, I wouldn't worry about it. Most

Hi Folks, I'm running rsync between an NT client and a Solaris 7 Server (Ver 2.4.6). I'd like to be able to exclude the following directory: /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs but retrieve /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG My setup is: rsync -av -p -e rsync@server1.cna.com:/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/ F:/opt/IBMHTTDLOG (client) rsync --daemon --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude (server) What I get is

Your users have rsh access to the machine, and are getting wherever they want, using the server:/path syntax. if they were using the server::module syntax, they would be restricted to only what's provided by the modules. If you don't want them getting everything all over the system, you will need to prevent shell access. Tim Conway conway.tim@sphlihp.com reorder name and reverse

You're set, unless you declined ssh in your cygwin installation (without cygwin, you're not doing rsync from windoze). It's just like unix, in that case. (Bonus clue: Under related commands for ssh, you'll find ssh-keygen). If you don't actually need to secure your content (you're not naked on the internet, for instance), you can just let rsync use plain old rsh
