similar to: rsync 2.5.5 and Mac OS X

I haven't gotten it to work successfully, I'm still struggling with the same setgroups error that you are. However, I can tell you what I have tried. So far I have rsync configured to run in --daemon mode using the command: sudo rsync --daemon I can prompt it for a list of modules, but when I go to copy a module, I get the error @ERROR: setgroups failed. I can copy locally, from one HD to

I've been trying to get my two Mac OS X computers to sync using rsync 2.5.5. I have one set up as the host with --daemon and the other with a client running. I was encountering an @ERROR: chroot failed error in my messages. I found that the problem lied in a misconfiguration of the rsyncd.conf file. I had tried to specify a POSIX pathway using the quoted foward-slash method. Once I got past

I am attempting to utilize the exclude from option in my rsync configuration file (rather than maintain lists on users machines) but it does not appear to be working. One example, I placed *.mp3 in the file to keep them from syncing mp3 files to the server and jamming up space. But rsync just seems to ignore this and syncs the files anyway without any errors to the syslog. All of my

I am trying to set up a MacOS X rsync server and am not having much success at the moment. I'm able to see the "share" alright, but here is what I get when I actually try to copy anything to the server: #rsync -vz /Users/myhome localhost::backup @ERROR: setgroups failed rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (37 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream

I am trying to set up an rsync server on windows 2000 and red hat linux 7.1, but unsuccesfully. I haven't been able to find detailed information in the man pages about this issue, which makes it quite hard to figure out. So far I have set up an ftp server and a http server, which I guess would be required for rsync to transfer the files through. Secondly I have created the required files:

Hello all, I've found some behavior in 2.5.5 that is contrary to the documentation in the man page. Specifically, I'm running an rsync server (i.e. from inetd with --daemon),and in the module definition I'm specifying the line "exclude nosyncdir". The documentation for rsyncd.conf indicates that this is exactly equivalent to using "--exclude nosyncdir" on the

Hi, I have installed rsync-2.4.6 version on Linux Redhat 6.2 (Kernel-2.2.14-5.0), after installed I tried to test the rsh and run "rsh remotehost /bin/true > out .dat". But it failed the error message was "Permission denied". I checked the permission all was okay, I forgot the rsh/csh methods and replaced by RSYNC_PROXY. Finally, it failed again. I would like to know that

I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2 on two different machines. Both machines have rync installed by way of the ports library, but one of them is running it as a server. I followed the directions in the man pages for running the server using inetd. Here is what happens: rsync rsync://myusername@10.0.0.8/ rsync: server sent "rysnc version 2.5.5 protocol version 26" rather than

I've added the: /etc/services /etc/inetd entries as well as /etc/rsync.conf with the contents: [io] path = //Volumes/Mac_OS_X/Library/WebServer/iolanguage.com/Io comment = iolanguage source code But I get this error: % rsync -rvR --progress localhost:/ . localhost.dekorte.com: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error:

Hi All: I am new to rsync so be gentle with me. I have been able to get rsync working enough to be able to list modules but not transfer files. When I try to transfer a file from the client to the server I use the command: rsync -avz fapmenu fisdev::bak The client displays the following messages: @ERROR: access denied to bak from pgiprd.forsoft.com (192.168.2.19) rsync:

I've tried as best I can to get this worked out, and crawled the web and the documentation but I just can't seem to figure out how to maintain ownership and permissions from the sending side using rsync in daemon mode. I feel I have to be missing something stupid with the proper use of uid/gid/fake super. I'm trying to automate synchronizing some program binaries between a production

I get the following log messages using rsync 2.5.1 compiled on Solaris 8 when using the "hosts allow" option in rsyncd.conf: 2002/01/23 12:09:51 [28276] rsync: reverse name lookup mismatch on fd0 - spoofed address? 2002/01/23 12:10:18 [28276] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (16 bytes read so far) Resolv.conf/DNS are configured and working properly with both A and PTR records

Here's another easy rsync question (I am trying to make sense of some stuff): Let's say I have this burp file, which I set the follow uid/gid: raub@kushana-13>ls -l burp -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody4 noaccess 44800 Feb 18 13:07 burp raub@kushana-14> When I move it to katri, since it does not have those uid/gid defined, it just spits them out as the appropriate numbers (that were

I'm trying to synchronize a particularly troublesome directory structure on a SunOS box to a PC. I really want all symbolic links resolved to real files on the PC when everything is done. I can't seem to find any combination of parameters that will accomplish this. It boils down to two problems. 1. It seems like that even if I exclude a symbolic link that is a directory it is not

I run a CentOS/Fedora mirror with rsync access. I have the following rsyncd.conf file: read only = true transfer logging = true pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log dont compress = * [Fedora] path = /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora comment = Fedora mirror [CentOS] path = /var/ftp/pub/mirrors/centos comment = CentOS mirror My problem is that

Hi, I am having one machine which i want to configure as a rsync server. Onthe machine I had kept the following file /etc/rsyncd.conf motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [rsync-test] path = /home/xidcit/test comment = XIDC Rsync Server uid = nobody gid = nobody read

Hey all, Like a lot of folks, I use rsync to pull content out to production web servers. Tastes great, less filling. Here's what I'd like to be able to do: Sometimes a web tree is not ready to sync, for whatever reason. I have many modules available, so stopping ryncd is not an option. I'd like to be able to tell rsync in daemon mode "this particular module is not available at

Hello, I think i may have found a bug in the "max clients" option in rsyncd.conf [we use rsync-2.5.5; All platforms I tried (Irix-6.5.14 and various linux flavours) show the behaviour explained below] The manpage says: |max connections | The "max connections" option allows you to specify | the maximum number of simultaneous connections you | will allow to

And, I've found more. It turns out that even though the exclude directive is ignored for inbound data in rsyncd.conf, it is NOT ignored for the --delete option. I've seen this behavior occur when I've deleted a file from the sending side (client) that is inside a tree that's matched by the server-side (rsyncd) exclude directive. The deletion is ignored, as the documenation

When rsync starts I get the following messages in my log file Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync: bind failed on port 873 Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(361) Anybody know what might be causing this? David
