similar to: bind failed on port 873

Hello, I need help in installing and configuring rsync in AIX 5.3, i have tested installing the popt and rsync 2.6.2 in a test test box. steps I have done on both the systems... Installed the popt and rsync. (By default it was installed in /usr/bin/rsync) edited /etc/services with line "rsync 873/tcp" edited /etc/inetd.conf with the line

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

Hi, I have installed rsync-2.4.6 version on Linux Redhat 6.2 (Kernel-2.2.14-5.0), after installed I tried to test the rsh and run "rsh remotehost /bin/true > out .dat". But it failed the error message was "Permission denied". I checked the permission all was okay, I forgot the rsh/csh methods and replaced by RSYNC_PROXY. Finally, it failed again. I would like to know that

Hello, we would like to use rsync (2.6.2 manualy patched and recompiled) in daemon mode spawned by inetd (Solaris 5.8 Environment). /etc/services: rsync 1234/tcp #RSYNC daemon /etc/inet/inetd.conf: rsync stream tcp nowait publish /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon --port 1234 . Alas, this does not seem to work, there is the following error message in the log file:

Hi, I'm trying to setup automatic sync of files over SSH from node2 to node1. node2 is the "server" and node1 is the "client". I have setup rsync like this on the nodes which runs AIX (4.3.3 and 5.1): 1. Installed rsync from Linux Toolbox (rsync-2.5.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm) on both nodes. 2. Added following to both nodes /etc/services file: rsync 873/tcp 3. Added

Before I start let me say I'm a relative newbie to rsync so bear with me. I've just installed version 2.5.5 and set up the following files on the server: inetd.conf rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon rsync.conf [www] path = /test/test2 comment = Test services rsync 873/tcp then I run 'rsync --daemon'

hello, i`m trying to use rsync via inetd and having problems. i`m getting 2009/06/15 18:25:29 [41082] name lookup failed for : ai_family not supported 2009/06/15 18:25:29 [41082] connect from UNKNOWN () when trying to write to rsync daemon via inetd. reading works fine. inetd.conf looks like this: rsync stream tcp nowait root /path/rsync rsync --daemon --log-file=/tmp/rsync.log

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? Looks like he's

Rsync Issue Solaris8 When performing a simple rsync between servers I was getting the following error: root:#> rsync -e ssh -va /export/home/a078479/bob smmk39:/export/home/a078479/ ksh: rsync: not found rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189) root:#> I was thorghrough in setting up rsync to be

Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two. I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at

From the rsync manual documentation I see that by using the option rsync-path, it is possible to specify what program is to be run on the remote machine to start up rsync. In particular, the program could be a wrapper script which calls the actual rsync command in the middle, but which does some actions before and/or after the rsync invocation. One possible interesting use would be to

Sirs; I have read your web site page current issues and debugging and I am interested in how to debug a rsync issue which ends with the following message: io timeout after 60 seconds -- exiting rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181) I have compiled rsync on a hpux 11.11 server and I am using rsync-2.6.4. The remote machine is running rsync as a deamon in inetd.

after following my earlier about rsync and inetd not binding properly, i have rsync working! many thanks to the suggestions brought forward on this mailing list. hope holidays are happy! Robb Benedict All Things Computers

I've tried as best I can to get this worked out, and crawled the web and the documentation but I just can't seem to figure out how to maintain ownership and permissions from the sending side using rsync in daemon mode. I feel I have to be missing something stupid with the proper use of uid/gid/fake super. I'm trying to automate synchronizing some program binaries between a production

Hi! I'd also like to report a strange logging problem I have. OS: Solaris 2.8 rsync version: 2.6.7 When I run rsync in daemon mode invoked at a command prompt, it does log information in my configured log file (i.e. /var/log/rsyncd.log). But when I invoke it via inetd with an entry in inetd.conf, it does not log any information. rsync version 2.5.6 did not have this problem. My inetd.conf

When rsync starts I get the following messages in my log file Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync: bind failed on port 873 Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(361) Anybody know what might be causing this? David

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

I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2 on two different machines. Both machines have rync installed by way of the ports library, but one of them is running it as a server. I followed the directions in the man pages for running the server using inetd. Here is what happens: rsync rsync://myusername@10.0.0.8/ rsync: server sent "rysnc version 2.5.5 protocol version 26" rather than

Hi, i have sporadic connection problems with my rsync server. I have _no_ firewall involved and there is _no_ max connections set. rsync on the clients is started from cron via a bash script. There's also no permission problem. rsyncd runs as daemon (is not started from inetd). It sometimes works, but every third or fourth rsync fails with this message: rsync: failed to connect to

i'm posting this to the bind-users and rsync mailing lists in order to get this archived for the next person who needs to do this :) comments and suggestions are welcome, but please cc: to me because i'm not subscribed to either list. craig ----- Forwarded message from Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au> ----- Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 10:30:20 +1000 From: Craig Sanders
