Hi, I'm confused as to the purpose of rsync modules. I know how to set them up in rsyncd.conf, and can list the available modules on a remote linux machine using 'rsync camlinux01::' from a Win32 client, but I can't find any information on what they are actually for. The man page for rsyncd.conf talks about them as if they are vitaly important, but the man page for rsync

Hi all, I recently acquired a laptop which brings the grand total of computers at three. 1 laptop, 1 server, 1 desktop. Now the problem I want to solve is the following: Because I work on both my laptop and desktop I would like to sync data in my prj/ directory to my server. So when I logon I sync my data from to server to the computer I currently working on and when I logoff I sync the data

Hi, I am having one machine which i want to configure as a rsync server. Onthe machine I had kept the following file /etc/rsyncd.conf motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [rsync-test] path = /home/xidcit/test comment = XIDC Rsync Server uid = nobody gid = nobody read

I was told that my earlier submission of this report contained a user-hostile attachment (courtesy of Outlook), so here it is again, with the log included below. The problem: Files that exist only on the remote system are deleted silently (i.e. not logged), rather than noisily as implied by the recommendation of --dry-run in the rsync man page definition of --delete to see what would be

I'm new on rsync, and I have some question regarding file synchronization my rsyncd.conf is secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets read only = yes list = yes uid = nobody gid = nobody max connections = 1 log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [test] path = /home/test auth users = test on another linux, I executed rsync --verbose --progress

After doing a lot of reading and search this lists' archieve I'm stuck! I'm trying to run a seemingly simply rsync from my RH9 box to an XP desktop. I have rsync 2.5.7 on the RH9 and rsync 2.6.0 on XP with Cygwin. ssh is working using key authentication. Anonymous rsync to XP works from RH9. I'm trying to get the rsync to run over ssh. Here's what I've tried.

I have add the ssh key to my .ssh/authorized_files. When I enter the command, the errors are as follow. [root@mandrake91 .ssh]# rsync mandrake82::XXXXX /rsynctest --recursive -e ssh buffer_get: trying to get more bytes 129 than in buffer 46 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) sync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) There is no errors when I

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

I just installed rsync on two machines, I think I'm a complete moron, and I need a clue bat. The remote machine's /etc/rsyncd.conf (just for testing): use chroot = no log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [auth] path = /var/www/auth comment = apache authentication files. read only = yes Then for a test, I fired up

I am able to perform the following line rsync -rsh="/usr/bin/ssh" filename host:/dir/filename But I am not able to perform this rsync -rsh="/usr/bin/ssh" filename host:module_name where rsyncd.conf contains the following pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log read only = false [module_name] path = /home/test comment =

Hi all, I keep getting the following error when trying to use ssh: (with rsync 2.5.7) [root@drone2 root]# rsync --rsh="ssh -lpaul" clinton:: paul@clinton's password: rsync: server sent "" rather than greeting rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1043) ...while using root works! ie, [root@drone2 root]# rsync --rsh="ssh

Hi, I would like to use the new interface style: rsync --rsh="ssh -l username -i key" <src> username@host::module, however I get "reset by peer" errors. Can someone give some suggestions, please? Do I need to provide a symlink to the /etc/rysncd.conf file from within the user's dir? Note, I have the groups set to same as user and the group exists. Where does

Hi, I want to keep the content of some directories on different Linux servers synchronal. I have on every Linux server an account for connecting to via ssh. This account has no root permissions. But some directories require root priviledges. I wand to use rsyncd as a deamon on the target hosts. My Idea was to build a ssh tunnel first and then using rsync via this tunnel. ssh -S -l user

Wang: I take it you mean that your mail bounced. Your domain is probably in the RBL or something. The commandline you give is an attempt to contact a rsyncd server. That means that the server you're contacting would have /etc/rsyncd.conf, and either an appropriate entry in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, or would be started manually with "rsync --daemon". I'm guessing

I'm trying to use ssh on the client side, mainly because I want to authenticate rsync clients using LDAP. I'm having issues. It seems when I use --rsh="ssh -l username", that the rsync server is ignore my rsyncd.conf uid and gid directives. My goal is to create a "dropbox" repository for files where a user can basically rsync a file to another allow on the rsync

Dear list members, this is very similar to a problem which has been discussed last summer on the list, but there was no final solution then (as far as I could follow the thread of messages). Would you please take a look at my problem, to see if I'm missing something? Here is the useful data: * Purpose: using rsync over SSH as a non-anonymous file server to transfer files between two

warning: rsync/sysadmin newbie question... I want to sync the web directory from my production server to my backup server (through ssh). rsync is working fine, except that it doesn't seem to authenticate my rsync user which is not a system user. If I run the command manually, sshd asks for the far end user's password. If I use that user's password, the files are rsynced to a
