IF ssh is a replacement for rlogin,rsh etc I can accept it respecting rlogin=false as rlogin does and rsh does not, however scp is a replacement for rcp, and rcp does NOT use rlogin attribute, so the implementation is NOT standard as scp fails if rlogin=false, but rcp succeeds, as documented. thanks mark

Hi all, I've a particular host on my network that when I run; rexec -l username -p password remotehost command it just hangs. When I do; rexec -a -l username -p password remotehost command i get; Where are you? If I do; rexec -l username -p password localhostname (not just localhost but its actual name) command it works. Any ideas would be very appreciated. - aurf

Hello all, I'm not quite sure what has changed in the recent rsh commands, but I can't seem to get around the password promting. I need a clnk rsh between two machines in order to run my backup script. I added all the usual .rhosts with the proper permissions et al added the xinetd.d confilg files, opened ports 543 and 544 in my firewall, yet when I use the rsh commands, I get either a

I sent this the other day, but did not get any replies, can anyone help? Hi All, I have a sparc solaris 8 server running samba 2.2.11 (which i complied with winbind). The server has been running for years and has about 20 local users setup using local files for openssh and rexec logins, and samba shares. They each use samba to map to their home directory and a common shared folder. They also

I've a particular situation in which I need to sometimes delete one or two files from a remote site. I haven't figured out a way to do it with rsync yet... I've considered playing games with --exclude and --delete but I'm a bit nervous of the chances of mayhem by a simple error. Situation is a remote repository to which files are added on occasion; there is no local copy. On

hi... i've got an "access denied" issue with rsh on one of my boxes (and before we start, no "use ssh" comments.. rsh is what i'm dealing with for now!!) i've got a few boxes in my network, and i can successfully rsh into them with no issue. however, on one box, i can't access it using rsh, and i'm running out of things to try... kind of curious. i can

Martin, Just a minor fix. Jie, Try the -r option (or the --recurse) option instead. It looks like the source changed to this: options.c: {"recurse", 'r', POPT_ARG_NONE, &recurse}, But the help is still at: options.c: rprintf(F," -r, --recursive recurse into directories\n"); eric Jie Gao wrote: > > rsync: --recursive:

Greetings, We have purchased an IBM BladeCenter and I am in the process of testing Linux installation on these things (boot off SAN i.e. qla2300 driver, not using internal drives). My distro of choice is Debian, however, since I'm really not interested in trying to hand compile all the drivers, I decided to try CentOS (which I'm so far very impressed with). On boot, as with the

Dear all, Maybe, I am doing something wrong, but using R-2.5.0 on my Intel-Mac, I have problems using function callNextMethod() in method initialize. I am loading the following code as file "testS4.R": setClass("baseClass", representation(myname = "character", mydir = "character", "VIRTUAL"),

Hello! I want to detect some environment on a remote host (in C program, getenv()), but it is failed.

Hi, all, I'm looking a utility for removing a directory from within R. Currently, I'm using: foo <- function(...) { mydir <- tempdir() dir.create(mydir, showWarnings = FALSE, recursive = TRUE) on.exit(system(sprintf("rm -rf %s", mydir))) ## do some stuff in "mydir" invisible() } However, this is assumes "rm" is available. I know of

Hi, I believe this is kind of a long standing bug though. In R-3.0.1, but this also happened in previous versions, the long version '--outdir' is not recognised: For `R CMD check --outdir=mydir pkg_0.1.tar.gz` we get: Warning: unknown option ‘--outdir=mydir’ But with `R CMD check -o mydir pkg_0.1.tar.gz` we get: * using log directory ‘/home/renaud/Documents/projects/mydir/pkg.Rcheck’

Hi, I am trying to use "read.pnm" from the package "pixmap" to read more than 10 thousand image files in "mydir". > file.list <- dir( "mydir", full=T) > for( i in 1:length(file.list) ) { print(i) x <- read.pnm(file.list[i]) } In the beginning it was fine. But after reading 1020 images or so, the read.pnm function seems to crash on

Hi All, I am looking for SCP or RCP standards. I searched on the web but I am not able to find the standards. Please mail me the link where I can find the standards for SCP or RCP. Thanks, Abhijeet

Hi, Basically, I want to preserve some of directories on destination side conditionally and hence, I choose to use --filter option mentioned in rsync man pages. I noticed that --filter option works as expected when I don't have --relative option used but in below case it doesn't work. rsync -avz --relative --delete --filter='H /mydir2' --exclude='- /preserve' mydir1/.

I got used to rsync's -v --progress option so much that I used it instead of rcp even to simply copy files across the network. I dont like software that doesnt talk to me! :-) I like the percentage bar that --progress gives! To my surprise, I found that, when dealing with 1GB+ files, rsync is 4-5 _times_ slower than rcp. Yes, I know that rsync is optimized for sending deltas to a file

Hello, I am using rsync for the first time. I have rsync 2.6.5 running on Solaris 9. It was built with gcc-2.95.
