Hi, from a generally pleased new rsync user. I have setup a number of services to be accessible via SSH. For most of them, it has been possible to arrange that clients can use a key agent and ssh's level 2 protocol to gain access without the need of entering passwords more than once, at the start of a session (assuming their keys are not stored in the clear). Most of these services can be

I have rsync daemon running on a fedora core 4 box that I am trying to use as a backup server for my web sites. I dont have shell access on my web host so will need to run a cron job to do the backups, which is what I want to do anyway. For testing purposes however I am using a php script using the "system()" function so I am getting some feedback. In my rsyncd.conf file I have the

Hi everybody - I'm trying to write a Perl wrapper for some rsync tasks that need doing. Problem is, there's some sort of odd interaction going on between Perl and the daemon mode communication for the rsync client, and I'm at my wit's end in trying to figure it out. Here's the Perl script: #####################################################

I have a Slackware Linux box called Tillie with three shares. All at /, user at /home/user and public at /public which is "guest ok" for access without a password. The problem is that Tillie shows up in Windows Network Neighborhood as a single icon. To open that icon and see the three shares Windows demands a password, thus making it impossible to access. Is there any way to get

Hey All, We have our linux server integrated with our WindowsAD via nss_ldap and pam_ldap and everything is working fine. We are hoping to use rsync to backup user specified directories to the network drives. Now rsync only seems to use auth when using SSH, or when using a static passwd file. Is there a patch or option to allow rsync to user system passwd's ? PAM ? LDAP ? I posted

Hi, My nightly rsync jobs recently began to fail. I don't recall making any modifications to the rsync config files or upgrading rsync. Below is the error I receive when I try to rsync the home directory of serverA to serverB. Is there anything obviously wrong? Thanks. serverA rsync # rsync -arczv --delete --password-file=/etc/rsync/rsync.password /home 192.168.1.4::home @ERROR: auth failed

Greetings list, I've been banging my head against this for a few days now, so finally I throw myself upon your tender mercies. I had rsync working fine to make offsite backups via an IPSEC VPN over an ADSL connection - until the remote raid5 server went down. It was rebuilt with RedHat 8 and since then I have not been able to rsync to it. Both ends have vanilla rsync-2.5.5 installed.

i'm posting this to the bind-users and rsync mailing lists in order to get this archived for the next person who needs to do this :) comments and suggestions are welcome, but please cc: to me because i'm not subscribed to either list. craig ----- Forwarded message from Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au> ----- Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 10:30:20 +1000 From: Craig Sanders

Greetings. Yep, I have set "use chroot = no" for the module and it works. The symlinks I have are created automatically by a tool and are absolute. But since "use chroot = no" handles well absolute links from root/, the transfer works A1. Thanks for your input, Wayne.

We have an odd situation where we have an rsyncd server running, that generates a password mismatch error when access attempts are made from some hosts, but not others. rsync from host1 is as follows rsync -vv user@server::STEREO opening tcp connection to server port 873 opening connection using --server --sender -vv --list-only .

Hi all, My rsync server was working fine and dandy with only the "hosts allow" method of authentication until my hosting company switched servers. Now after changing my config to reflect the new IP and running rsync mydomain:myrepository/ from the server, rsync asks for authentication for my remote username. Even with this simple config: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file =

Hi- I have a solaris 8 box with the latest ssl, ssh, and rsync all set up. ssh and an apache-sll site are running good - I feel confident that ssl and ssh are set up correctly, but when I use rsync over ssh, it (rsync) will allow me to sync as any (system) user from any host ecven though the rsyncd.conf file in /etc has user auth = <one real system user> and host deny = * is there

Hi guys, I am experiencing a very strange problem with passwords and username with rsync. I have a "auth users" line in my /etc/rsyncd.conf file (see below) and a corresponding username and password in my /etc/rsyncd.secrets. The strange thing is is that authentication for the module listed in /etc/rsyncd.conf (unixadm) only works IF the username in /etc/rsyncd.secrets is the same as
