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

The way gnutar "preserves" atime is by noting it before the read, and setting it back after the read, thus wiping out a legitimate setting of atime occuring during that interval. Yeah, the netapps mess with unix times. Did you notice that mtime and ctime always match? Now that I know you're on a netapp, though, your problems are solved. Snapshot and sync from the snapshot, then

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

Tarun: I don't use rsync to windows - just too much trouble and no need, but, I think the problem is the embedded colon in the path.

Well, Robert, at least you're to a consistent state from which maybe the more capable people on this list may be able to help you. I'm ccing the list, as I don't see anything I can help with. You might try it again with -vvv on the client side, to generate more detail. As it looks like it's dying in connection setup, the output shouldn't be cluttered with a mass of

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.

Hi, I am almost ready to convert from UW-imap to dovecot 1.0 stable for my imap use. I hacked UW-imap to touch a file in the user's home directory so I can always tell the last time they used imap. My hack looks something like this: if(authenticated) { touchfile = (char *) malloc((strlen (home) + 15); sprintf(touchfile,"%s/.imapd.last",homedir); fd =

Yes, I've read the FAQ, just hoping for a boon... I'm in the process of relocating a large amount of data from one nfs server to another (Network Appliance filers). The process I've been using is to nfs mount both source and destination to a server (solaris8) and simply use rsync -a /source/ /dest . It works great except for the few that have > 10 million files. On these I get

I tried rsync 2.6.1cvs on my FreeBSD 4.X boxes. It dumps core when preserve_hard_links and backup.

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

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?

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, is it possible to update the modification time stamp of a file using R (on file systems supporting it)? It is sufficient to update the modification time to the current time. The best I can do for now is: touchFile <- function(pathname, ...) { if (!file.exists(pathname)) stop("No such file: ", pathname); info <- file.info(pathname); if (info$isdir)
