Hi All, I recently installed Rsync to perform backup features - this includes backing up a /home dir and keeping ownerships/permissions intact is obviously very important.... However when I perform. (current working path is /home) rsync -azv --progress --stats * andrew@192.168.0.2::tmp/home and on the server side of things... I have it setup like so - motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd

Hi, can I make one rsync url available to several machines, but on the rsync server, direct that url to different directories? for example allow all hosts to access /foo but direct host a to /some/path/foo-a/, host b to /other/path/to/foo-b/ and so on? Thanks. Andreas

Hi!:) - try using the sudo command as a prefix to all of that. I know that if I didn't do that it would default to nobody.nobody when I copied. -Tito > > Hi All, > I recently installed Rsync to perform backup features - this > includes backing up a /home dir and keeping ownerships/permissions > intact is obviously very important.... > > However when I perform.

Hi all, I was wondering if it will require any major rewrites of the daemon/client to include limits on the data transfer rate ? Alexei.

Hello all, I'm not a total newbie, but probably close enough. I have tried to find the answer to this question, but have been unsuccessful. I'm testing out rsync over ssh using empty passphrases between 2 OpenBSD 3.5 boxes using rsync 2.5.7 (yes i know i should upgrade, but can't because of BSD ports issues). Everything seems to be working, but I'm very confused as to why it is

Thought that you are able to add a simple - + with paths or file names at the bottom of a file and run an rsync and those are then recognized inclusions or exclusions from the synchronization -- Jason G Helfman Network Administrator BizRate.com 310.754.1264 desk

I compiled and tried rsync 2.5.0 but could not get the server running. loadparm.c:string_set() now calls free() which it did not do in 2.4.6 and this free() tries to free memory that was not allocated with malloc. Here is a gdb run (done after adding return before fork() in become_daemon) which shows where it crashes and what my minimal config file for demonstrating the bug was. The config file

Hi, is it possible to use the rsyncd Daemon without any logging. I would like to make a network synchronization on a specific directory in a small network (10 Hosts) . These synchronisation should happen every 10 secounds. My logfile increases to fast with the logging option therefore it is better to use rsync without any logging. Thanks for answering. Please apologize my bad english. I hope

Hello, I think i may have found a bug in the "max clients" option in rsyncd.conf [we use rsync-2.5.5; All platforms I tried (Irix-6.5.14 and various linux flavours) show the behaviour explained below] The manpage says: |max connections | The "max connections" option allows you to specify | the maximum number of simultaneous connections you | will allow to

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

Hello world!!!! I realized that my samba_Server1 did not even UID & GID that the other samba_Server1 .. In summary: the share from the windows works very well. samba 1 and 2.

I have the latest rsync running on mandrake official 10. At 2:30 I run rsync --daemon from cron to run an offsite backup for all my customers. At 8:00 I run killall rsync. However my log files show the following: 2004/04/20 02:00:00 [2702] rsyncd version 2.6.0 starting, listening on port 873 2004/04/20 02:00:59 [2707] rsyncd version 2.6.0 starting, listening on port 873 2004/04/20

Is it possible to configure rsync in server mode, to gain access to root protected files, without the user having to log in as root through ssh? I'd prefer to login as a regular user through ssh and access an rysnc server on the host that's running as root. As far as I can tell, however, that's not possible...am I wrong?

Ok, I just setup the log file and this is what I see there: rsync on cdrive/Temp/pix.log from admx (141.214.137.139) transfer interrupted (code 3) at flist.c(812) I had to change [cdrive] from path = "c:\" to path = c: to get rid of '@ERROR: chdir failed' error.

This is my first post so first of all I will say hello to everyone. I have rsync configured and working properly on my local network however when I try to connect from a remote host (one located in a different state) the connection times out. I was wondering if there was another way to set the timeout besides in the rsyncd.conf file? As I said the connection works fine on the internal lan, but

Hi All, We have clients which dynamic IPs which we have setup with <host>.dyndns.org addresses. We have added these to the rsync.conf 'hosts allow=" but they are being denied access.. Is there anyway around this? Matt
