similar to: Installing rsync as a service on Windows 2000.

Hi, I'm trying to use rsync to backup a linux filesystem to a windows server. I followed the hints that I found at http://www.tiarnan.phlegethon.org/rsyncntdoc.html to run rsync on windows, and it works quite well. The only problem I found is that windows is not able to backup linux special files (/dev/*). I don't know if the problem is in the way rsync has been compiled, or simply in

Hello all, I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order. I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to upgrade to 1000mb/s. I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards so I'd like to buy the right card first time. I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience.

Hi All: I found this old message on the web archives. I've gotten Xen working with PXELinux, albeit with something of a hack. The basic chain is: 1. pxelinux 2. memdisk 3. FAT16 floppy image 4. grub installed on floppy image 5. xen.gz and vmlinuz on floppy image While this seems pretty simple, the key bits were to use: 1. FAT16 (not ext2, etc) for the floppy image 2. use the 'raw'

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Hello Xen-Users, I am running a Debian GNU/Linux Devel-Station (P2/366 MHz, 512MByte) and use currently chroots which give some problems from time to time. I have following configuration: ----8<------------------------------------------------------------------ /dev/sda1 / 7700 GByte # Master System /dev/sda2 swap 256 MByte # Master System /dev/sda3 /var 512 MByte # Master System

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Hi all, I'm trying to get rsync running on a Windows 2k box (my tape backup server) to remotely back up stuff from a few unix boxes. Not my favored constellation, but there's not much I can do about that. I'm hoping someone could give me a quick tip or two on getting rsync working as a Win2k service. I'm not real proficient with Win2k, so be gentle. The posts I could find

Hello! I want to start rsync on w2k as service. If I try to start rsync from command line it simply do nothig: $ rsync --daemon Administrator@dm-w2ks /usr/bin $ ps PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 480 1 480 480 con 500 04:15:03 /usr/bin/bash 1428 480 1428 1420 con 500 05:26:46 /usr/bin/ps Administrator@dm-w2ks

For a recent project I needed to run Rsync as a service on Windows NT. The following is a link to the instructions I created to recreate my steps. http://members.home.net/cbollerud2/projects/rsync/NTService.html The "no-fork" patch used here is very similar to the "no-detach" option mentioned in many previous posts. I wish I could take credit for it, but I basically put

I'm rsyncing over ssh to unix servers now & am wondering what people who use rsync for their unix boxes do when dealing with win 2000/NT machines? Steve Mallett

What is the status of rsync on Windows 2000? I was looking to install it on my test system, and the download directory has a readme file that says I need the cygnus gnu-win32 library. The link refers me to the index page for cygnus, with no way to get to a download area. A google search shows many mirrors of the download directory. All I have checked are completely blank. I will confess

Hi, I'm trying to set up rsync to allow me to backup a number of Windows machine to a Windows XP Home server using Nasbackup. I can get rsync working fine but have been struggling for days to get user authentication working. /var/log/rsyncd.log 2005/09/27 13:46:37 [1352] rsyncd version 2.6.6 starting, listening on port 873 2005/09/27 13:47:50 [4088] auth failed on module modulename from

Hi all, I'm rsyncing a windows 2003 client to a windows 2003 server using the cwrsync installation package. The trouble is that the permission rights set by rsync on the destination server are very restrictive and don't allow another application to access the files. I'd like to change that. However, the GID and UID parameters in the rsyncd.conf file don't seem to manage that.

I'm sorry to bug you guys but when I tried to install the sshd service it didn't work. I'm running the newest build of Cygwin with Openssh and cygrunsrv on windows 2000. The configuration file was supposed to register sshd as a service but the service couldn't start! It was supposed to but it DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got instructions that were supposed to work from

Hi all, I try to implement a secure ODBC connection via ssh tunnel from a win-pc to a linux server. I am looking for a kind of service under nt that builds a secure tunnel connection from the pc to the server at time of login of the user at the desktop and going into the background after that. That means the conncetion is always open until the user shuts down the pc. It should run completely in

Has anyone been able to run and use dovecot on Cygwin? Just to start asking, don't be affraid. Thanks in advance. Andy

Hello, I sent this last week before signing up for the list, but haven't seen it in the archives, so I'm guessing it got discarded either as spam or HTML (sorry about that). In any case, the following was sent to comp.security.ssh early last week and I have gotten no response there. Can anyone here shed some light? Thanks, Eric ------------------------------------------ Hello,

First- I'm admittedly a newbie both to the cygwin environment and to the hpa tftp. My apologies if this is the wrong list to ask this question. If so, slap me around a little.... I tried to build tftp-hpa under cygwin. The 0.37 version throws errors during the ./configure process, warning about winsock2.h and winsock.h being present but not buildable. The 0.36 version appears to

Hi, would you mind to apply the below patch? It fixes Cygwin's ssh-host-config script in various ways: - Remove old code to remove the "sshd/22" entry from /etc/services. This code fixes a problem which only existed in installations which are more than 10 years old. - Handle the StrictMode setting interactively. - Fix regular expressions looking for white spaces. - Make the
