I am trying to use rsync to transfer some directories from a RedHat 7.0 box to a RedHat 7.1 rsync server via a cron job. The cron command line: 00 00 * * * /usr/local/bin/emailbackup > /tmp/backup.log 2>&1; mail -s "Rsync Backup Log" my@emailaddres < /tmp/backup.log The 7.1 rsyncd.cond; [home] path = /home/brad/data/emailbackup read only = no uid = root gid = root The

I have read the MAN page and the Rsync page and have set up an /etc/rsync.conf but I can't seem to get it working. I have tried starting the daemon and adding the correct entry on the server hosts.allow file, but I just get "Connection refused" from the server. Surely this can't be that difficult, but I am at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help? Regards, Brad

I am having some problems getting rsync working. No files get copied, although the server HD light DOES come on for about a second when I run the client rsync command. The /etc/rsyncd.conf on the server: ============================== uid = root gid = root log = /var/log/rsync.log read only = no [email] # Email data files from /var/spool/mail on Proxy (192.168.0.100) path = /home/databackup/

Hello, I am a first time user of Rsync. I am having problems configuring an Rsync server on a Solaris server on which I have *no* root previliges. I have searched the archives and the web,but none of the articles/documents have proved helpful beyond an extent. Since I cannot be root, I have installed rsync v2.5.2 from sources in $HOME/rsync. The rsync binary is in $HOME/rsync/bin My

I’m having a heck of a time setting up an RSync server on a mac OS X system. I have run it as a daemon (--daemon) with a configuration file and have created a plist file and put it in the launch directory. Still can’t get a connection. When I run ths ps –E on the system, I don’t see rsync running. Any links to good setup docs? Brad No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by

I have so far been unable to get rsync to work properly in a test setup. Does anyone have any ideas? Both PCs are running RedHat 7.2. The Server: IP Address 192.168.0.202 Server Name: RH72TB hosts.allow ALL: 192.168.0.201 rsyncd.conf: [testmodule] path = /tmp The Client: IP Address 192.168.0.201 hosts file: 192.168.0.202 RH72TB I have run "rsync --daemon" on the server.

Dave- I've got the rsync daemon running as root, (setgroups() man page said that if setgroups wasn't called as root it would give an error message) and I've configured the ports correctly a la man page. I still get the error with setgroups. If it's a recently implemented security feature could I yank that section out of the code and recompile it again? I haven't had a chance to

On OpenBSD 2.8 when i start rsync with: # rsync --daemon the daemon doesn't bind to the ipv4 tcp port instead it only listens to the ipv6 port. The daemon works properly using the same argument on linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated. # netstat -la Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0

There are two security advisories for people who run a writable rsync daemon. One affects only those with "use chroot = no" (which is not a very safe combination in general), and one affects a daemon that has daemon-excluded files that are being hidden in a module's hierarchy. Included are simple config-change suggestions that should help you to avoid the security issues. These

Dear, I'm trying to put up a scripts to synchronize my computers (HOST_A and HOST_C). I can connect both via HOST_B to avoid the firewall. I am trying to work with the rsync daemon to avoid hanging. I tried to figure out the mailinglist + FAQ, how to do it, but it seems I misunderstand something, since all your previous help did not work for me. I get the following error when executing

SUMMARY There is a path-sanitizing bug that affects daemon mode in all recent rsync versions (including 2.6.2) but only if chroot is disabled. It does NOT affect the normal send/receive filenames that specify what files should be transferred (this is because these names happen to get sanitized twice, and thus the second call removes any lingering leading slash(es) that the first call left

Hello, I've been trying to get rsync to work in daemon mode between two win2k boxes without success.

Dear rsync-guru's, here's a user question: I want to make sure the files transferred to rsync daemon (running on a linux kernel) are written to media I assume if rsync command returns (with 0) all data has been tranferred to rsync daemon, but it depends on the rsync daemon priority and linux pdflush daemon before the data is truly written to physical media (whatever that is). Is there
