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

First, an item to fix: the substitution of "-P" for "-p". All good operating systems are case-sensitive, and many utilities, ssh included, are case sensitive about their options. "-P" is passed along with the "-p" to signal that the next parameter is the passphrase, to enable passphrase setting directly in the commandline. If that's wrong,

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.

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.

Wang: I take it you mean that your mail bounced. Your domain is probably in the RBL or something. The commandline you give is an attempt to contact a rsyncd server. That means that the server you're contacting would have /etc/rsyncd.conf, and either an appropriate entry in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, or would be started manually with "rsync --daemon". I'm guessing

In order to do rsync over ssh without providing a password, you must be able to ssh without a password. The --password-file= option is to provide a password for a rsyncd server (run as rsync --daemon) password. rsync cannot provide a password to an external transport like ssh or rsh. You will find that if you do "ssh -l wl 192.1.4.231 uname -a", for instance, it will ask for a

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

Well, here's one thing that could make them, even if they're being created only directly, not over NFS. I'm watching the directory you're syncing into. I open the file while it's still there.

I think this is more a philosophical issue. Some people want all applications to be like windows. "Are you sure you want to delete this file" <YES> "really"<yes>"it might make something stop working<yes>"permission denied". Unix assumes you know what you're doing. If you don't, tough. There's no reason you can't make a

Sonu: I'm giving the whole history to the rsync list. If the tests i subscribed passed, yet you get that error, it's more in depth than i can go into. You've got 1 hour, let's hope somebody immediately recognizes the problem. I've got some ideas, but no time to explore any more for you. Gentlemen: does anybody see a quick resolution for Sonu?

I vote for the consistent, complete log format as a solution to this sort of thing, and those who need to take non-rsync related actions based on what rsync did can write their own applications to do so. People keep coming up with some particular thing they need done for their own application, and want rsync to do that too. rsync is a tool to make one thing exactly like another. It is not

Salim: I suspect that if you check the timestamp, you'll find that that binding failure is left over from an earlier attempt, before you were properly configured. Your description of you inetd.conf/services setup sounds correct. Your commandline, though, shouldn't work. You name a directory as the source, but don't say to do its contents. However, I would expect an error from
