Hi, I'm trying to get rsync 2.5.6 to authenticate users via openldap-2.0.23. I was looking through the mailing list archives and found a patch for rsync-2.4.6 that does this for me. I was just wondering if this is still valid, or if there has been a new patch or new implementation that has superceded this patch. Any help would be great. The message I am referring to is as follows:

Hi, If anyone is interested, the included patch to rsync-2.6.2 allows you to specify the port number for an rsync server as a global option in rsyncd.conf with 'port = <N>' (where <N> is your favorite port number). Note that this parameter only takes effect when the server is started, not when clients connect. Also, specifying the port in rsyncd.conf takes precedence

Hi! I am doing backups from a number of machines to an rsync server. For some time I was trying to come up with a solution, which would prevent users from peeking at each other's files, which are backed up. Finally, I've hacked rsync, introducing a new option "write only" for rsyncd.conf. When set to true, this option forbids the transfers from server to the client, thus solving

We use rsync to provide an rsync share on a linux server with a javascript program on Windows clients which ensures all client data is backed up each morning. After making no progress with my posting last month regarding making a module upload only to prevent someone from manually downloading the rsync share obtaining other users work (exclude = * wasn't possible because we need --delete to

In case others find this of value, I wrote a patch to rsync 2.5.6 to give rsync in --daemon mode the ability to run a pre-transfer and post-transfer command. These options handle our need to prepare a server to receive files and to do some processing after receiving files. The options for /etc/rsyncd.conf are pretransfer script = /some/command/to/run posttransfer script =

This is a patch to control unix permissions when uploading to a rsyncd-server by setting rsyncd.conf options. cu, Stefan -- Stefan Nehlsen | ParlaNet Administration | sn@parlanet.de | +49 431 988-1260 -------------- next part -------------- diff -ur rsync-2.5.5/loadparm.c rsync-2.5.5-umask/loadparm.c --- rsync-2.5.5/loadparm.c Mon Mar 25 05:04:23 2002 +++ rsync-2.5.5-umask/loadparm.c Sun Mar 2

hi*& Samba has troubles with joining to NT PDC, that has some scope id because: 1. smbpasswd does not know anything about scope id and you haven't any chance to join into NT PDC. 2. also many utils like smbmount doesn't know scope id 3. In smbclient you can specify scope id, but you should remember it and etc. It's not so usable. I'm asked about these problems in samba

As you all know, rsync doesn't have any special handling for Mac OS X HFS+ resource forks. Kevin Boyd made RsyncX and rsync_hfs, to address this gap, but they only work when the destination filesystem is also HFS+. I haven't been able to find any references to an rsync that is capable of syncing from HFS+ to UFS (etc). The only solutions I've seen involve lots of preprocessing

In the bufferbloat age, anything that can make for a kinder, gentler bulk transfer protocol seems desirable. This add support for user and server selectable congestion control algorithms. As examples: --congestion-alg=lp # For the tcp-lp algorithm on the command line Or in a subsection: [mystuff] congestion alg = westwood # for a wireless connection And diffserv support: --diffserv=8 for

Hi all, in our LAN we use a Samba server (version 2.2.9) on Linux (Debian Woody) to provide file services to workstations running (mostly) W2K. WinCVS is a GUI frontend to the popular CVS version control system. After the swap to and from daylight savings time WinCVS erroneously flags all files in cvs working directories on Samba shares as modified (because of the icon color WinCVS users refer to

Rsync team, and interested parties: i was attempting to get rsync to launch from tcpserver[0] (an inetd replacement from djb) and log to stderr for logging via multilog[1] (syslog replacement by djb) and i was unable to get it to log to stdout/ stderr at all. [0] http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html [1] http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html i have attached a patch that allows

Hi folks, This is a patch for rsync 2.6.9 - I'm not sure if this is the proper vehicle for submitting them. It's been working great for us for months, and I hope it's seen as offering useful utility in general.

Hi everyone, I'd like to propose a patch for review. It enhances rsync when patched and compiled with slp support. It adds a new global boolean option, 'disable slp', which can be used to disable SLP advertisements at runtime. The idea behind this patch is to allow distributors to build rsync with SLP support compiled in, but to allow the users to turn it off without recompiling

Here's a second set of diffs for sanity-checking smb.conf files. This one implements a basic set of checks on netbios names. No, it won't recognize someone using an ip address, but it will realize the dots don't belong: $ testparm Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf WARNING: netbios name "127.0.0.1" contained a dot, which is only legal in DNS domain

Attached please find unified diffs against Samba 2.0.6. I'm hoping that others will find it useful and that it may even find its way into Samba 2.0.7 This patch does two things: - Modifies the handling of the 'netbios name' parameter so that standard_sub_basic() is run on its value when the 'netbios name' parameter is processed. This has to be done this way because

Hey all, Like a lot of folks, I use rsync to pull content out to production web servers. Tastes great, less filling. Here's what I'd like to be able to do: Sometimes a web tree is not ready to sync, for whatever reason. I have many modules available, so stopping ryncd is not an option. I'd like to be able to tell rsync in daemon mode "this particular module is not available at

After an upgrade, I got re-bitten by the 'unix-extensions and wide links' incompat. (They used to be compat but were made incompat in the 3.4.x timeframe due to security concerns). At the time it was suggested I write a patch complete with documentation to describe the fix. The below seems to fit the bill. I was wondering what people thought about it's inclusion in future
