similar to: The behavior of "-u/--update" option on directories

I have another small feature suggestion, it should not cause such a stir as the whole "file list" issue (I kind of wish I never said anything about it :) ). What about adding a "UMASK" setting to rsync (for use on the command line and/or perhaps rsyncd.conf)? I realize that it may be a problem/conflict with -p, but I think it could be a useful feature. -- Aaron W Morris

Hi * I'm using rsync to mirror software from one Sun Workstation (mecc27) to the other (mecc29). (solaris 5.7) worked perfect... 'til 1 week ago !! Everybody claims nothing has been changed in the configs of the machines (couldn't find anything, though), but rsync is doing nothing at all. just after being called it exits without any error message, warning, whatever.. here the log

HI all, efficiency question for VERY low bandwith networks Suppose I know the list of files that are changed What is the most efficient way to make rsync sync this list. Currently I use --include-from --exclude to generate a 'filelist' but I suspect that client and/or server exchange the list of files in the module to be synced. this traffic can be avoided since the include-from

Hello everyone I am trying to do incremental backups using rsync and SSH. I have a windows server with two shares on it that I want to sync remotely to another machine. [----------------] | windows server | [----------------] [----------------] | FreeBSD server | [----------------] [----------------] | SuSe server | [----------------] I have two samba mounted shares on the BSD server,

I am experiencing some odd behavior with a SAMBA server running on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 system. Users are authenticating against a Windows domain, and then connecting to their home directory shares, defined as: [homes] comment = Home Directories hide unreadable = Yes valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775

I have found several instances where rsync refuses to copy a new file. I am using it to sync changes from a staging web server to production servers, and there are certain files that it just plain won't copy. The file is totally new. No such name has ever existed on the target server(, or on the source server until now). In this instance, I added 3 completely new files to the same

Hi All, I am trying to run rsync from HP11.00 machine (source) to HP11.11 machine, as test for migration plan. The data on the source is not changing since it is snapshot of active data. Every time we try to run the following command: timex rsync -avuz --delete isynh09:/snap We get the following error: receiving file list ... done mknod

Hello I am trying to set up a backup server running Solaris 8 with rsync 2.5.5 and ipfilter the latest version. The problem i have is i have about 16 different interfaces that are secured via ipfilter , and i tried running rsync via rsh but ipfilter would not set up a keepstate with rsh which meant i had to open up and that is not acceptable. So what i tried then was via ssh and that worked fine

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2647 ------- Additional Comments From vanes002@umn.edu 2005-04-25 18:50 ------- A possible explanation is if the single-quotes are being retained in the --exclude values instead of being removed by whatever shell you are using for scripting. So rsync tries to exclude '/proc/' instead of /proc/ In your case, the quotes aren't even

Hi folks, I am hoping someone here can offer some suggestions. Here is my situation: I am using rsync over the internet for several hundred clients to keep them in sync with a master repository of files. The rsync daemon is listening on port 80, because most of the clients are behind firewalls that only allow outbound port 80 (and other common ports). This works fine for most of them

I was wondering if it's possible to restrict rsync in various ways on the server side when it is invoked via ssh. Two restrictions I had in mind are disallowing deletes and/or restricting all actions to a particular subdirectory. I was hoping to be able to do this without having to be root (for a chroot) or having to set up special sshd server instances/chroots. If there's not already a

I'm currently going through the LLVM OCaml bindings tutorial in preparation for using LLVM in my own project. While the tutorial is very helpful, it was somewhat hard to start due to the fact that I plan on using ocamllex and ocmalyacc and the tutorial hand rolls their own lexer and parser. I have managed to adapt almost all of the tutorial code into using ocamllex and ocamlyacc (the only

Hi. We just opened a gaming center and have chosen to run a FreeBsd box for our firewall. IPFW is configured at it's very basic running natd through rl0 and allowing any to any connections from the lan to the outer world. Natd controls access to the lan. We have a 6.0 mb/s ADSL net connection for all the gaming clients to use, however if a gamer starts downloading a file, that file

I have the following setup: PDC: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC1: Samba 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 BDC2: Samba 3.4.3 on Solaris 10 Samba 3.0.37 is the bundled version of Samba. Samba 3.4.3 is compiled from source. BDC2 is a recent addition to the network. All machine use LDAP as the backend for everything. They use winbind to handle a domain trust with another domain, but otherwise

Hi-- Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I googled as well: --exclude /afs/\* I thought you could just say: --exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/ To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the \ and * are here? Thanks again :) All My Best, Jeffrey on 8/6/06 5:00 AM, rsync-request@lists.samba.org at

Hi, I've tried various combinations of --exclude and --include, but I can't quite get it. What I'd like to do is only mirror certain directories in a tree. For example, say a directory tree starting at /x contained under it several directories named "abc". I want to mirror only the "abc" directories and what's under them and nothing else. /x/abcdef/456

Hi, we have some questions concerning the definition of new arithmetic methods. In our package "distr" (on CRAN) we define some new arithmetic methods for "+", "-", "*", "/". After loading "distr" the corresponding arithmetic methods work. Now, if we define a new class and also a new method for one of the arithmetic methods

I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla, but could not find any reference to a problem like this. Vitals: -rsync 2.6.2 with security patch
