similar to: FW: compare st_mode & 07777, or Aix dirs always differ

Under Aix directories have the mode 024xxxx instead of the customary 04xxxx. Because of this when you sync a directory to or from an Aix system it's never up to date. Here is a patch which fixes this. It causes rsync to look at only the bits that chmod actually influences, 07777, when deciding whether or not the modes differ. I was surprised there wasn't an existing constant for 07777,

Hello, i'm using rsync 2.6.0 for daily-syncing some remote AIX 5.2 machine to a local linux (RH 7.3) with using the --link-dest option for saving space on incremental backups. Even if there are no changes on the AIX machine, all files are newly transferred on every new sync. My test scenario (actisi=remote aix machine, actisa=local linux machine): =====> Initial rsync [mma@actisa

Version 2.0.5a (same prob w/2.0.4b, though). smbsh segfaults after I enter my password. As root, it just seg faults. As my login user, it dumps core. Attached is a script of an strace of it.

This is a corrected version of the patch I originally submitted on September 5th, and resubmitted on October 14th. I have removed the changes that added $(CFLAGS) to the link-only invocations of gcc. Otherwise, the patch is the same as before. My thanks to Paul (prj@po.cwru.edu) for noticing my error and kindly correcting me. ** text of original letter, with corrections ** I had to make some

I had to make some patches to rsync to get it to build on VOS. We are a POSIX-96 (but not Unix) system. Here is the subset of the patches that I think are general to all platforms. I have tested these here. I was surprised that CPPFLAGS is not available to the compilation rules in the Makefile. Most other packages (e.g. Samba) seem to allow CPPFLAGS to be set by the user. Since this is how I

** This is a resend of mail I originally sent on September 5th. I am still interested in getting these patches applied, and getting a new config.guess and config.sub. Is there anything else I need to do in order to get these changes accepted? Thanks. PG ** I had to make some patches to rsync to get it to build on VOS. We are a POSIX-96 (but not Unix) system.

This is an updated version of my patches to get rsync to build and run its tests on the Stratus VOS operating system. I have updated this patch to apply cleanly to the current copy of HEAD. I also ran the test suite and discovered that I needed to tweak a few spots in the Makefile to append the executable suffix (VOS is one of the few systems that has a required executable suffix). There are a

The attached patch adds an option --drop-suid which caused rsync to drop setuid/setgid permissions from the destination files. ie, even if the source file is setuid, the target file will not be. Added as we want to rsync the same files to machines both inside and outside our firewalls. For machines inside the firewall some files should be suid, for machines outside the firewalls they should

The latest version that Western Digital has shipped with the My cloud devices accesses the disk about twice a minute. The access to /dev/sda2 is causing the system to keep the disk from going into standby mode. I don't understand the call to quotactl every minute when no one is trying to access the share. An strace of one of the processes shows the following: poll([{fd=13,

I'm fond of the "-a" (archive) option of cp, and I'm a heavy user of scp, so I guess it's inevitable that I would eventually add support for "-a" to scp. :-) Actually, it's a "-L" flag for preserving symlinks, and a "-a" flag that is shorthand for "-Lpr". Please let me know if I'm not doing this right.... I made a great

Included below is a shar archive containing two patches that together: 1) make backup files get their setuid and setgid bits stripped by default 2) add a "-s" option that allows backup files to continue to have these privileges This means that if you update a collection of binaries with rsync, and one or more of them has a local-root security problem, the backup file(s) created when

Hi everyone, We are trying to port our own windows application to SUSE linux.Our application uses SetFilePerm() api defined in commondll.dll.We would like to know whether there is a linux equivalent of windows commondll.dll in wine... If not then what could be the possible alternative to make this api function exactly as it does in windows. Waiting for an early reply, Thanks and Regards,

Hello, I have two little problems with samba: 1st. Samba is not setting the sticky bit anymore !!!

Hi, I have made a patch which improves scp utility. It adds two new features: rate limit and resume support. With rate limit it's possible to limit transfer speed. Resume allows to continue file transfer where it was last interrupted. Also the progress meter was improved. Here is my patch, please send comments about it and what I can do better if there is something to fix. ---

Our linux distribution at my job didn't include a /tmp directory. When ever I tried to use syslinux, I would get the following error: ./syslinux: No such file or directory I modified the code to report this: ./syslinux: Cannot access the /tmp/ directory. This would have helped me a lot rather than having to download the source and run it through the debugger to figure out that my /tmp/
