similar to: [Bug 2455] New: rsync --daemon segfaults if "log file = <file>" dir does not exist

If the rsyncd.conf has a line such as: log file = /var/log/rsync/log and /var/log/rsync doesn't exist or isn't a directory (or the log file can't be opened for any other reason), then there's no warning whatsoever, as rsync forks itself into the background before checking the config, opening the log file, etc. Worse still, it gets a SIGSEGV, and dumps core. Here's a strace

Hello! In the attached file is patch for the option to set client connection limit. We had problem for dead hosts, so default system timeout is not enough. --conlimit option added Will be great to see this patch in the future version, so we do not need to patch every time. Thanks and Cheers, Eugene. -- -------------- next part -------------- diff -Naur rsync-2.6.8/errcode.h

Rsync team, and interested parties: i was attempting to get rsync to launch from tcpserver[0] (an inetd replacement from djb) and log to stderr for logging via multilog[1] (syslog replacement by djb) and i was unable to get it to log to stdout/ stderr at all.

Hello list, This is a patch to rsync 2.5.5, and it serves two purposes. The small patches to batch.c, flist.c and log.c simply add "void" to some function definitions so that all declarations in proto.h have full parameter lists. unsigned char read_batch_flags() OLD unsigned char read_batch_flags(void) NEW The SCO UNIXWare compiler correctly objected to these functions not having a

In case others find this of value, I wrote a patch to rsync 2.5.6 to give rsync in --daemon mode the ability to run a pre-transfer and post-transfer command. These options handle our need to prepare a server to receive files and to do some processing after receiving files. The options for /etc/rsyncd.conf are pretransfer script = /some/command/to/run posttransfer script =

Greetings. I'm not sure if this is the place or not, but I wanted to pass on this patch (against CVS as of today) to document two exit values that are used by rsync but not yet in the docs. Please let me know if there's a better place to send it. Many thanks to the developers and maintainers of rsync for all the excellent work! Jon Index: rsync.yo

All, During development of a backup solution with rsync I experienced some failed backups because of RC 23, partial transfer. These were because the application using the data I was backing up, was still active, and had deleted a file inbetween rsync compiling the file list and then transfering the file. After some feedback from Wayne Davidson and JW Schultz suggesting the solution to this,

Hi. Here's a patch for copying the atimes of files when -t/--times is given. I bumped the protocol to 29 since it sends more data over the wire. It obviously does not send the atime if it's sending data to an older rsync version. It passes all the tests (including the added atime.test) for me on a: Linux Debian/3.0 gcc 2.95.4 (debian), glibc 2.2.5 system. Any questions/feedback? I

On the Mongrel FAQ forum, Josh Wehner was having problems with cygwin (don''t know if he fixed it). http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=6978&forum_id=5450 Due that, I manage to install cygwin, ruby and rails on my humble little computer, it compiled worked ok (taste like *nix, so I felt a bit off-road running this). Anyway, tried to pass test for mongrel, and still get 1

Hello! I am using rsync compiled with Cygwin on windows. I must call rsync from the *.bat script (I don't want to use a bash on Windows) and I have noticed that in the case when program compiled by Cygwin crashes via segmentation fault and default SIGSEGV handler is called, then it terminates process with exit status 0 as I see it from my *.bat script. (But if I invoke a program from bash

I have released rsync 2.6.3pre2 -- the second (and final) pre-release version of 2.6.3. Please help out with the testing so that the code gets a good workout before 2.6.3 is released. (Note that this version will not be in testing for as long as 2.6.3pre1 was -- I'd like to get it released in a week or two, if possible.) To see what has changed since 2.6.2, read this text file:

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

I have added regular expression support using a POSIX implementation. The patch (against 2.5.5) is attached. The implementation is simple and follows the same mechanism that is implemented for normal searches. I added these command line arguments: --rexclude=PATTERN exclude files matching regexp PATTERN --rexclude-from=FILE exclude regexp patterns listed in FILE --rinclude=PATTERN

Hi, I have a licensing question: I'm curious if the fact maketree.py is GPLv2 causes any trouble for the rest of rsync (which is GPLv3 or later). -- yours, Julius Davies 250-592-2284 (Home) 250-893-4579 (Mobile) http://juliusdavies.ca/logging.html
