Hi All, I am trying to understand the purpose of rsyncd. Why does it exist? Why not just use rsync ad-hoc or via script? Also, to a more serious note. I need to keep a filesystem on 1 server and another server synced by. What is the best way to do this? I want to have /source and /target to be exactly the same. I don't want any extra files in /target. I want the timestamps to be the exact

Hi! I've been attempting to use rsync to sync a set of files between my laptop and my desktop.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a new samba setup on a tiny network, and I'm clearly missing something. I'm running Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu Linux. When I first set it up, it seemed to go so smoothly. I changed all the workstations to the same workgroup (RABNETWORK) and they could see each other and the server, but they couldn't open anything on the server. I don't really understand

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please.

Hello, When I run the 'smbclient -L apollo' command at the UNIX prompt a I get an error. I have gone as far as I can in this DIAGNOSIS.txt file. Does anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing my problem ? I have made my comments to the DIAGNOSIS.txt file via '---- davidw {comment}' so you can see what I've done to date. Also, I thought I'd pass on the output

I'm new to Samba software. I just installed Samba on my Sun Sparcstation 20 running Solaris 2.5. I read the DIAGNOSIS.txt file, but in this case, it didn't helped me. When I tried to login in from the PC to the unix machine by typing "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP", it prompted me for the password, so I typed in the unix password (I guess?), but an error message returned -

I have a quick question about rsync's writing of files. I have a team of people that all use the host BigServer, which is running rsync as a deamon, as a central place to keep all shared files backed up. The "master copy" for any given file is considered to be the local file that somebody has worked on -- i.e., BigServer is NOT considered the master copy. BigServer is the backup

I have tried to compile 2.0.4b and 2.0.5a on AIX3.2.5 and it gives a problem when I test it with "smbclient -L bigserver", that was discussed in the archives. I thought it was fixed.

Hi I've just built a Debian 3.0 Woody Samba server with version 2.23a. Using stable rather than unstable. After putting it into a network with another Samba server I find that the Win98 client machines can't connect to it but they can connect to the other server. The other server is set to OS level 65 and the new one is somewhere below that. I've run all the usual tests and they

Hi All, I had a look in archives but no joy. I just want to know before i deploy - if there is any problem with having multiple rsync sessions from many source locations all to same destination server ( all copying to different file systems obviously ) ?? Its jusat that i see on the destination machine a process rsync -server being called whenever a client connects. Thanks ! Laurence

Would it be more efficient to use rsync to get filestats instead of using the 'find' command? I would like to know how big a directory is on a filesystem, but this directory has millions of small files. I was wondering if rsync would be more efficient than find when using "-n" options. TIA

It appears I have things set up. Linux (RH6.1) box is running samba and I'm trying to access shares from my 98 box. >From Network Neighborhood I can see the linux bo listed with the other LAN boxes. If I d-click to open the smb box, I DO get a folder withthe share name in explorer. Then, if I try to open that folder (share) it asks for a password for resource \\MACHINE\SHARE I enter my

I'm a long time user of Unix OSes, and new to Linux/Samba administration. The Window's administrators have changed all logins to domain based and as such, my previous configuraiton of Samba no longer is viisible in the network neighbourhood. (If I log into my machine locally, everything works great with teh Samba server but nothing on the windows side is conveniant). Could someone push

I have been unable to get my Samba shares on RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.3a to be visible from my Windows 2000 SP1 server. From the DIAGNOSIS.txt tests (results below) I think that nmbd is not working properly, but it stops and starts fine, and a ps -A shows 1 X smbd and 2X(?)nmbd processes running, I have tried the suggestions there without luck and am not sure where to go next. I'd appreciate
