similar to: non-interactive ssh connections (was Re: RSYNC ISSUE)

Gouri: close. Try "Ssh-keygen -p -P ''". You might argue that ssh should guess that -P imlplies -p, but that's an issue for your ssh maintainer. Also: you don't ordinarily distribute the private key. You need the PUBLIC key in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on any system you want to access with the private key. Maybe i'm seing your application backward, and you

Hi, After creating and distributing the private key with "ssh-keygen -P", I am till getting the following error message while I schedule from cron. Only exception is right now , I have only one message which says "You have no controlling tty and no DISPLAY. Cannot read passphrase". Any help is appreciated. Gs You have no controlling tty and no DISPLAY. Cannot read

Hi, I have tried to genertae the key with ssh-keygen -P ( remove the passphrase) And copied it to the traget system. However, it doesn't work. Any insite with the way I am distributing the script.

Oh. Now i feel like an *enlightened* idiot. I 've always thought of a checksum, crc, or whatever as giving 1/2^^length certainty, and I have a sense that that knowing the file length adds another amount of certainty, though I can't quantify that. I just know that if the size doesn't match, the checksum doesn't matter. I'd never considered the implications of the

I just did a win2k install, and as I thought i'd remembered, it asked whether the hardware clock was UTC or localtime (and recommends localtime). Of course, I chose UTC, but most would probably follow MegaSloth's recommendation. I don't know how to change it on an already-installed system, though. Does anyone else?

The "-a" option (the "--links", "--perms", "--devices", and "--times" options are redundant, as they, as well as "--owner", "--group", and "--recursive" are implied by "-a" )does dictate that permissions on files being sent be brought over from the source. Are all files losing permissions, or only files

Hi!:) - try using the sudo command as a prefix to all of that. I know that if I didn't do that it would default to nobody.nobody when I copied. -Tito > > Hi All, > I recently installed Rsync to perform backup features - this > includes backing up a /home dir and keeping ownerships/permissions > intact is obviously very important.... > > However when I perform.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Some paths on the remote server may require authentication. If so then you will receive a password prompt when you con- nect. You can avoid the password prompt by setting the environment variable RSYNC_PASSWORD to the password you want to use or using the --password-file option. This may be use-

Whoops, I apologize for the off topic e-nail. I meant to write a reply but I mixed up my messages to the various listservers I'm subscribed to. I'll remember to check my address next time. I've found a new way to run Rsync, it works pretty well, and involves a disk image mounted on a server that's created with Disk Copy. It serves our purpose pretty well for what we're doing

Unless told otherwise, rsync uses rsh to contact the remote system.=20 Another popular option is ssh. Both of these protocols use the logged-in=20 username, unless specified otherwise. What rsync really does is "rsh=20 remotehost rsync --server-and-other-undocumented-options". If you can't=20 "rsh server rsync --version", rsync won't work with rsh. Same with ssh. I

You're obviously not the first to need this. That's why the '--bwlimit=' option was added. Set it to however many Kbps you want rsync to use. I usually use 768 going over our wan, to spare some bandwidth on the T1, and maybe 10000 over the lan (in my case, all the dasd is nfs). I suspect that it may affect local-to-local transfers as well, but haven't tested it, but

not logging into it, either by hitting escape at the login prompt, or=20 configuring it to not ask, thus, it has no idea what username you are. Am = I right?

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

If it's anything like the rooms I saw last year...some rooms have "wardrobes" meaning that you have a unit with a shelf, a "closet" cabinet type thing, and about 5 drawers. If you have lots of clothes, bring extra storage containers because thos drawers can't really hold much. Or don't bring so many clothes:) I think some of the two room doubles have huge-ass floor

Actually, what I do also propogates deletions. Since someone may unpack a tar containing files with earlier mtimes than a marker file, a simple --newer won't do it for us, either. Instead, I generate a list of all items, consisting of name and type, to which i append number of links, size, and mtime for files; link destination for symlinks; and for directories, fifos, chars, blocks,

I have a similar problem with rsync, though it's not consistent. sometimes, things just don't come over, and sometimes, things just don't get deleted. Repeated runs usually correct it. If it's the case of a directory being replaced with a non-directory, you'll have to add "--force" to get it to happen. Hope it helps. Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com
