similar to: --link-dest mostly useless on a server without chroot

Hiya. While merging the 2.6.0 changes into our modified version of rsync, I noticed the following bit of code in 2.6.0's options.c: extern int sanitize_paths; if (sanitize_paths) sanitize_path(strdup(files_from), NULL); filesfrom_fd = open(files_from, O_RDONLY|O_BINARY); Since sanitize_path modifies its first argument in place, the path that open()

Hi NG, I want to do incremental backups to a remote server running rsyncd (because daemonless transfer via ssh often hangs!). In contrast to transfer via ssh (without remote rsyncd) this doesn't seem possible, or do I miss something? Imagine I want to incrementally backup `mydir' to the backup space `backup' on e remote server `alpha' running an rsync daemon. rsyncd on

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12817 Bug ID: 12817 Summary: [PATCH] Allow daemon itself to chroot Product: rsync Version: 3.1.2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: wayned at samba.org Reporter:

I am concerned about the code under the comment /* Find canonic host name. */ in ssh.c. This replaces the hostname entered by the user with the cannonical name determined by getaddrinfo, causing the new name to be used henceforth. This includes connecting to the host, and finding its public key in a known_hosts file. getaddrinfo seems (on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, GNU libc 2.1.3) to look up

Hopefully the email to the announce list will show up soon. Until then, you can get a jump on the rest by checking out the rsync home page to read the announcement: http://rsync.samba.org/ It includes a security note about a fix that affects read/write daemons that are not using chroot. If that includes you, you should look into upgrading (or maybe enabling chroot on an older rsync).

Using rsync 2.6.0 on both ends, I ran rsync -v --files-from files andrew@pimlott.net: . and got an error from the remote rsync. The reason is that the remote rsync is run as rsync --server --sender -vvR --files-from=- --from0 . which conflicts with a check in options.c that rsync must have two non-option arguments when --files-from is used. I tried again with the latest nightly

Specifying a RemoteForward of 0:example.com:1234 dynamically allocates the listen port on the server, and then reports it to ... the client! Where it is practically useless. Was this someone's idea of a joke? Presumably not--there are some technical obstacles to reporting it to the remote process. I'd like to help solve that problem. The natural way to me would be to extend the syntax

Hi. I'm new to IMAP, but just tried uw-imapd and then dovecot in conjuction with offlineimap. I'm using Debian package version 0.99.14-1 and have my mail in mbox format. One of the first things that annoys me about both programs is that as soon as you read a mailbox over imap, the imapd changes all "new" messages to "old". It seems to have the assumption that the

There is an amusing bug in ssh-add that causes it to go into an infinite loop. I am using openssh 1.2.3, and noticed that when I ran "ssh-add < /dev/null" in my X startup scripts, but didn't have ssh-askpass installed, ssh-add started spewing errors into my .xsession-errors and didn't stop. I found that what happens is: ssh-add forks and attempts to exec ssh-askpass. The

SUMMARY There is a path-sanitizing bug that affects daemon mode in all recent rsync versions (including 2.6.2) but only if chroot is disabled. It does NOT affect the normal send/receive filenames that specify what files should be transferred (this is because these names happen to get sanitized twice, and thus the second call removes any lingering leading slash(es) that the first call left

I'm 99% sure there is a bug in rsync when running in daemon mode on a 'remote' server. The bug is that when trying to rsync a sym-link, the daemon 'leg' of the code strips off the leading path separator (for linux, this would be a '/'). I have produced a 'fixed' version of the code and we have been using it for at least 6 months. We've also used the

The Wine development release 3.21 is now available. What's new in this release (see below for details): - Typelib marshaller rewrite using NDR functions. - Graphics support on recent Android versions. - Support for memory font resources in DirectWrite. - Joystick support improvements. - Various bug fixes. The source is available from the following locations:

I have two local variables: startTime and expectedStartTime. Both are chron related objects. When I look at the class for the objects I can see they are of class "times". When I print them to the console, they both read: "09:30:00" When I print them as.numeric(), they both read: 0.3958333 When I try and compare them: (as.numeric(startTime) == as.numeric(expectedStartTime)) it

I've been using ssh for a while now (both fsecure and openssh), but am not an expert on security. I was wondering whether the following is secure: I create a key pair, trusted & trusted.pub I run sshd on a server (no telnet, rsh or other services). I create a user "guest", and put "trusted.pub" in my authorized file. I give away "trusted" (the private key)

I'm running R 2.11 on Karmic. I'm having difficulty installing quite a few packages with the returned error message of "installation of package "[whatever the packages happens to be]" had non-zero exit status. I know this message sometimes is caused by incorrect or missing java packages and the like. I generally don't have issues with the installation of R or R packages
