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

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. This time I added three v's as you just suggested and rsync just hung with two tasks in execution thus: root 3178 0.1 0.9 1796 868 pts/1 S 09:57 0:00 /usr/bin/rsync -vvva --delete --exclude=root/snapsh root 3179 0.0 0.6 1628 632 pts/1

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

Actually, what I do also propogates deletions. Since someone may unpack a tar containing files with earlier mtimes than a marker file, a simple --newer won't do it for us, either. Instead, I generate a list of all items, consisting of name and type, to which i append number of links, size, and mtime for files; link destination for symlinks; and for directories, fifos, chars, blocks,

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

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

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

Hello, I have two machines, that have directories that needs to be in sync ( for example ~/sync on localhsot and /tmp/sync on remote). I would like to rsync one file from localhost to remote but: on localhost the file is ~/sync/dir/file.txt and i would like to put it to exatcly this same dir ( /tmp/sync/dir/file.txt ). Problem starts when 'dir' doesn't exists on the remote side. Is

You're set, unless you declined ssh in your cygwin installation (without cygwin, you're not doing rsync from windoze). It's just like unix, in that case. (Bonus clue: Under related commands for ssh, you'll find ssh-keygen). If you don't actually need to secure your content (you're not naked on the internet, for instance), you can just let rsync use plain old rsh

it's in syscall.c, not generator.c You'll have to save the status of the lstat, modify the mode in st, and return the lstat status. I don't know how to do it, though. #if SUPPORT_LINKS int do_lstat(const char *fname, STRUCT_STAT *st) { #if HAVE_OFF64_T return lstat64(fname, st); #else return lstat(fname, st); #endif } #endif Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com

Approximated petitioner: Perhaps this will help. SunOS 5.7 Last change: 25 Jan 2002 5 User Commands rsync(1) -C, --cvs-exclude auto ignore files in the same way CVS does --existing only update files that already exist --ignore-existing ignore files that already exist

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

There's nothing in rsync to do that. How about making the files and directories all belong to another user, set the sticky bit and write for your rsync user on the directories, unset write for the files, and rsync that way, then chown afterwards? the updates to existing files will fail, leaving you only with new.

A: do you have a "hosts allow" or "hosts deny" in rsyncd.conf? B: what version are you using? It seems i've seen messages about rsyncd in some versions refusing to allow unresolvable names in. C: Are you able to access the rsyncd, and just wonder about the log entries, or are you unable to get in? If it's just a log complaint, I wouldn't worry about it. Most
