Hi all! I've read the manual and google'ed aplenty, but sadly can't figure out this particular issue. Perhaps someone can thwack me with the correct cluestick? I have a number of directories listed under one path in an rsyncd module. I'd like to rsync the contents of some of the directories. Here's essentially what the source filesystem looks like: /home /home/user1

Am I blind? I think that I must be blind. I have been trying to export a share using Samba in such a way that one group of people can access it read only, and another can access it in writable mode. I can do this all day long if I use different share names, but what I am wanting to do is to allow access from multiple users to a single share name, in such a way that those multiple users can have

Hello everyone, I am responding to my own post in an attempt to give feedback to the community on what worked to solve the problem I was having.

Hi all, I have an error message that pops up every time someone connects to my Samba server.

I'm doing a recurring copy from one server to another from the crontab in this fashion: rsync -av -e ssh --delete 10.0.1.18:/dir1/ /dir1 --progress &> /var/log/rsync_backup.log However, rsync is creating the dir /dir1/dir1 on the machine running this job instead of updating the /dir1 folder. According to the rsync man page, this is the correct syntax: rsync -avz foo:src/bar/

Hello Tony, Samba isn't the 'culprit', just the media used. Samba does NOT insert anything into the files that you copy over or have an application create on a samba share. The issue is that you are using a PC program to check out/modify the files, and pc os'es (Win/dos, i mean) use crlf as a ascii line terminator. Unix uses a lf only. So when you view the files with a pc

Hello. I believe that I've done my due diligence in researching what info. is currently available on this issue. I have been jacking with this for days, & believe that I have tried all possible solutions. I am basically trying to move a [Merant] PVCS installation from an OS/2 file server to a SuSE/Samba file server. This installation consists of 'standard' source archives,

Patch includes fixes to man page including: - Typos/Spelling - Clarity - Special characters. - Moved around text explaining example. Make sure I didn't confuse the exclude list/file paragraph (line ~961 after applying the patch), I haven't used the feature and the motive of that paragraph is a tad unclear. Hope the patch is helpful. Never had used yodl before. Thanks for rsync. /a

On The Solaris Servers Samba is version

Hi Larry, Your tech details are way beyond my knowledge, but maybe python can do the job for you too? I use this python script (from the python cookbook) and crontab to keep my sheep in the dry: #!/usr/bin/env python #wraps up rsync to synchronize two directories # ! -- should contain check of disk space using rsync -n option for drytest ! from subprocess import call import sys import time

Good afternoon all, I'm currently working on a backup script that will fetch a set of logs from remote machines and store them on a central machine. The command I'm using is of the form ${RSYNC} -avz root@${site}:/data/access_* ${LOG_REPOSITORY}/${site}/ Each site usually holds about 8 files with the prefix "access_". Some machines however only have one, and this is where my

I believe there's a typo in example 19.2 ("Overriding global CUPS settings for one printer") of the official Samba HOWTO collection. The "print command" parameter in the [special_printer] section contains several echo commands,

Hi all, I'm trying to made a filtered backup of a windows PC. My target is to create a recursive backup of "only" files reported in the include/exclude files (i.e. only *.txt). the rules (reported below) work well, but also create an empty folders structure that I don'want. Rsync works fine for me (the rules are reported below) except a point, rsync create an empty folders
