similar to: rsyncd server daemon not allowing connections

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

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 =

I have some rsync defined as a server on one of my production systems and use to to sync out various configuration files for services running on the box (dhcpd, dns named.conf files & the like). Both ends are Compaq Alpha/Tru64 5.1 systems running rsync 2.5.5. I'm having a fit trying to include certain files in specific subdirectories under the main path; one such example is below:

Hi All, I must not understand the uid/gid line in rsyncd.conf. If someone could briefly point out where I've gone wrong, I'd appreciate it. I've created a special user to backup a server which has some users who don't want all their files backed up, so I'm trying to address their concerns by using the uid= and gid= lines in rsyncd.conf to have the rsyncd run with

I've running a rsyncd and ssh port forwarding (-R 12345:localhost:873 backup@server) on a client because the client should not reachable but over ssh. The rsyncd should acessible because I can backup and restore files with backuppc (a wonderfull program which use perl::rsync) And I can "ssh -p 12345 backup@localhost" to this client too. If I try to connect (from the machine/user

I am running rsync version 2.56 in daemon mode on a server running Redhat 8.0. When I check my log file (located in /var/log/rsyncd.log), the only lines I see have to do with the server starting up, like so: 2003/09/11 16:53:42 [15025] rsyncd version 2.5.6 starting, listening on port 873 I would like to see output relating to connections, usernames etc., so I set up the following rsyncd.conf

Hi, I'm trying to setup automatic sync of files over SSH from node2 to node1. node2 is the "server" and node1 is the "client". I have setup rsync like this on the nodes which runs AIX (4.3.3 and 5.1): 1. Installed rsync from Linux Toolbox (rsync-2.5.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm) on both nodes. 2. Added following to both nodes /etc/services file: rsync 873/tcp 3. Added

I have been running the following (from a cron script with a non password authorized_key exchange) ... rsync -aP -vv --exclude=".*/" -e 'ssh -fN user at site.com.au -L 8873:127.0.0.1:873' rsync://localhost:8873/data/ /data/ ... and not getting much to happen as either evidenced in /var/log/rsyncd.log or as artefacts on the local file system. Then I started to execute the

Hi, I've a problem with rsync 2.6.2 and the daemon. I've installed it precisly as I did with 2.6.0 (I've tried before with 2.6.1 and was having the same problems as now with 2.6.2). When I try to a rsync --daemon command the rsync offcourse finishes, but in the log file it says 2004/05/04 21:15:10 [22369] rsyncd version 2.6.2 starting, listening on port 873 2004/05/04 21:15:10

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

Hello, Rsync is working great for me right now, using version 2.6.5 on two Solaris 9 V100 servers. Box A is the source and box B is the destination, and also box B is my rsync server box. Box A is a rsync client. Yesterdar from Box B I pulled 250 meg just fine from box A with rsync. Today from the client I want to just copy over to the server what files have changed today. So my command

Hi I am wondering if there is any way to change the file permission of "rsync.log" and "rsyncd.lock" via rsyncd.conf. Most likely the "lock" file is not possible, but maybe the other file is possible. The reason I am asking is because if I UserA runs rsync, then UserB won't be able to write to rsync.log file since its owned by UserA and readable only to UserB.

Hi, I have installed rsync on CentOS4, Installation went through ok and I tested it as well by copying a folder to mounted tap backup drive. But now I need to run rsync as daemon(server), trying to find /etc/rsyncd.conf file but there is no rsyncd.conf file exists under /etc directory. Having read online I found out that /etc/rsyncd.conf file needs to be manually created. Is there any sample

Hi, I'm trying to setup an rsync daemon such that I can synchronize my home pc (or other remote system) with my pc at work. I'm fairly new to linux and am just starting to learn its amazing possibilities. I followed an online toturial to create a rsyncd.conf file which reads: #motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file =

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
