similar to: Rsync service on Win2k?

Hello! I want to start rsync on w2k as service. If I try to start rsync from command line it simply do nothig: $ rsync --daemon Administrator@dm-w2ks /usr/bin $ ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 480 1 480 480 con 500 04:15:03 /usr/bin/bash 1428 480 1428 1420 con 500 05:26:46 /usr/bin/ps Administrator@dm-w2ks

For a recent project I needed to run Rsync as a service on Windows NT. The following is a link to the instructions I created to recreate my steps. http://members.home.net/cbollerud2/projects/rsync/NTService.html The "no-fork" patch used here is very similar to the "no-detach" option mentioned in many previous posts. I wish I could take credit for it, but I basically put

Hi, the following patch changes two files in the contrib/cygwin subdir: It changes the Cygwin specific README file which adds some hints related to the new feature to switch user context without password (which means using public key and/or rhosts authentication). Some old stuff is erased. The changes to ssh-host-config are intended to allow an easier startup for users which are new to Cygwin

I was looking to install Rsync on a win2k server, the document telling you how to do this (available at: http://samba.org/rsync/nt.html) is fairly out of date and has a couple of mistakes. An updated version of the "Rsync on NT" document is now available at: http://www.tiarnan.phlegethon.org/rsyncntdoc.html I think I've gotten rid of the mistakes, but if I've missed anything

Hi, I have added two features to the ssh-host-config script which is used in Cygwin installations to prepare the host based OpenSSH configuration. Now it cares for a /var/log/lastlog file if it's not already installed (Thanks to "Karl M" <karlm30 at hotmail.com> for that patch) and it now asks the user if s/he wants to install sshd as a NT service and, if so, installs it.

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync to allow me to backup a number of Windows machine to a Windows XP Home server using Nasbackup. I can get rsync working fine but have been struggling for days to get user authentication working. /var/log/rsyncd.log 2005/09/27 13:46:37 [1352] rsyncd version 2.6.6 starting, listening on port 873 2005/09/27 13:47:50 [4088] auth failed on module modulename from

Hi, the below patch to contrib/cygwin is a major rework to allow various changes in the installation process on Cygwin machines. The important changes are: - New Makefile, providing a `cygwin-postinstall' target which allows to create a base installation as in the Cygwin distribution, which should be run right after a `make install'. - Additional information given in the README

Hi all, I try to implement a secure ODBC connection via ssh tunnel from a win-pc to a linux server. I am looking for a kind of service under nt that builds a secure tunnel connection from the pc to the server at time of login of the user at the desktop and going into the background after that. That means the conncetion is always open until the user shuts down the pc. It should run completely in

Hi, Cygwin only: Under some circumstances, the sshd service gets accidentally started *before* the network service has been started up. The reason that this can happen is, that the sshd service gets installed without a dependency to the network service in contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config so far. The below patch fixes that by adding a dependency to the "tcpip" Windows service. This

there is one more thing that you should probably see: this is the error message that cygrunsrv.exe gave me: Eric at ballistic ~ $ cygrunsrv --start sshd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. this is the error message that "net" gave to me: Eric at ballistic ~ $ net start sshd The CYGWIN sshd service is starting.

Hi, the following patch fixes a wrong path in a chown command. The additional leading slash collides with accessing SMB shares using double slashes as in "//server/share" on Windows systems.

Hi! I'm having a bit of a problem setting up an rsync operation between two Windows 2000 servers. On one of the machines I have started an rsync Daemon (service, started as administrator) using the lines below. On the other machine I do a rsync -Pzrtvpo /cygdrive/d/root/Folder administrator@192.168.2.4::root What happens is that all transferred files (no problem with the actual transfer)

Hi all, I'm rsyncing a windows 2003 client to a windows 2003 server using the cwrsync installation package. The trouble is that the permission rights set by rsync on the destination server are very restrictive and don't allow another application to access the files. I'd like to change that. However, the GID and UID parameters in the rsyncd.conf file don't seem to manage that.

Hello, I am programmer working on a product which integrates Theora. I have a question regarding the memory use on some of the internals of Theora. Is this the right forum for this question, and if not, does anyone know where an appropriate place to ask is? Thanks Sam -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I posted this message to the cygwin mailing list, but I thought I'd try it here too... flip --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I am using rsync 2.5.5 protocol version 26 with cygwin 1.3.10-1.

I've been using rsync in a linux environment for some time, but I'm trying to grow my NT 4.0 environment to utilize rsync's features to keep a folder on one NTServer (with IIS) sync'd with one on the other side of a firewall. My issue is that I can't seem to get rsync v2.4.5 to load as a daemon. I've followed the hints in Mike McHenry's paper to no avail. I can run

I am attempting to use rsync to "mirror" data between several windows 2000 and windows XP systems. I am a UNIX person by nature, so decided the easiest way to go about doing this would be to use Cygwin with cron and ssh running as services, then run the rsync connection nightly through cron. Cygwin is installed on both systems and works perfectly. OpenSSH is installed and running,

What is the status of rsync on Windows 2000? I was looking to install it on my test system, and the download directory has a readme file that says I need the cygnus gnu-win32 library. The link refers me to the index page for cygnus, with no way to get to a download area. A google search shows many mirrors of the download directory. All I have checked are completely blank. I will confess

Hi, could somebody with checkin rights please apply the below patch? It modernizes and improves readability of the Cygwin README file (which hasn't been updated for ages), drops unsupported OSes from the ssh-host-config help text, and drops an unneeded option from ssh-user-config.
