Your users have rsh access to the machine, and are getting wherever they want, using the server:/path syntax. if they were using the server::module syntax, they would be restricted to only what's provided by the modules. If you don't want them getting everything all over the system, you will need to prevent shell access. Tim Conway conway.tim@sphlihp.com reorder name and reverse

Hi all. I have a script which I call from cron. It basically does some stopping of a few services, rsyncs all files to a remote server and then starts the services again. However, rsync segfaults: /share/bin/cron.root.backup.sh: line 28: 18453 Segmentation fault rsync -acx --delete ${_backup_dirs} backup-server::backup-client If I run rsync from the command-line everything works as

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

Hello, I am trying to use rsync (version 2.5.5) in a server client model to distribute software files. When I kick off the rsync client on an AIX 4.3.3 pwr3 platform, I get the following error message. We are in a real bind to get this protocol going; any help/insight/suggestions would be "greatly" appreciated. rsync: getaddrinfo: grp4c 873: Host not found rsync error: error in

Hello, I'm quite new to rsync, and after reading and checking some examples I still have a question regarding synchronization: What arguments should I use if I want to synchronize two folders? I need to make sure that after synchronization, contents on each side are the same. If I have new files in folder #2, these aren't copied to folder #1 after the process. It only passes files

Hi all, I have started the rsync in deamon mode. When I use the following command: rsync --port 9876 u018::treeA it seems to work fine but no files are copied from the server. Using rsync without the deamon works fine. I tried to debug it a little bit, but I am unable to figure out what's wrong. 337:david@u050 /export/treeA> rsync -r -vvv --port 9876 u018::treeA opening tcp

Hi, Can anyone send me an example config file that makes use of ignore nonreadable timeout 600 When I try to put this in a module - rsync seems happy but it gets nasty logfile messages when a client connects to the server.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wish to use rsync to synchronize a whole fat32 (MSWindows) partition mounted into a linux system. I run rsync from linux. The problem is rsync synchronizes most of the data even if the data hasn't changed since the original image was made. I used the -avz parameters to do the backup and the same for restoration. Also I've tried just -rvz. It

I'm trying to do a two-way rsync and it works ok for creating and updating files but file deletions are flawed. The only way to sync the fact that a file was deleted is to use the -delete option, but this poses a problem. If Server A has file 'foo' and Server B does not. Will rsync think that 'foo' is new and copy it to Server B? Or will it think that 'foo' is old and

I have used rsync on many systems, and never had a problem. I am stumped on what to do with this. I have a box behind a LinkSys router and I can not "push" or "pull" data to or from it from anywhere. When I try, it logs into the remote server, gets the file list and just stops. The remote server shows a process running until I control-c out of it.when I do that, I get: rsync

Tim, I reported a protocol data stream error on 9/8/2002 Deatils are in my postes at that time rsync still fails everytime I run it.

I am evaluating rsync for the mirroring of a website and associated database. To exercise it and establish the correct run string I need I am running tests LOCALLY between two test directories. I have a /scratch/temp/Departure and a /scratch/temp/Arrival trees. I apply changes to the Departure tree, run rsync, and do a diff -r. Now I delete a file in Departure rm Departure/Quattro/uno.file

Hi, I know those questions have been asked before but that was more than an year ago. I'm hoping the situation has evolved now. I'd like to use rsync as a backup tool to move around some data. I often have to move hundreds of GB, and that takes some time. I'd like to use rsync so that if something happens, I can restart the migration without loosing what has already been

Hi, I'm new to this list also I'm new to rsync. I'm looking to get working rsync on my server to synchronize updating rbl dns table. For testing, I installed rsync on two sun boxes running solaris 8, also on those boxes I'm running sshd2 ver.3.1. Also I setup rshell an both and is working. rsync is in search path.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to do something along those lines: rsync --rsh=ssh --archive foo:/data/* bar:/data/ Where foo is on the other side of a firewall, bar has no network connection to foo, and the machine I'm executing this on can connect to both of them. Unfortunately, copying from remote to remote doesn't seem to be possible with rsync. There's no mention in the Manpage as

Mermgfurt ! I have some problem with syncing two machines which are connected over a Gigabit-connection. I'm trying to use rsync with ssh because of the authorisation mechanisms (keys). It starts quite ok with 18 MB/s (this small speed may have something to do with our internal net) and falls down to 400 KB/s (!!!). This happens over a long period because those files I want to copy are very
