similar to: BUG REPORT: latest rsync misinvokes ssh with user@host ...

A while back I argued for adding a --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and got some general agreement that it would be a good thing (especially for systems that don't have rsh at all). However, the changes were never integrated into rsync. This patch adds the --with-rsh=CMD option to configure and modifies main.c to improve the blocking-IO setting code. The old code would set blocking_io to

Why does rsync believe it knows more about the use of the token to the left of the colon than the program which will be used as the remote connection? I have a script called sshto with accepts targets like this: host1!host2!host3 and constructs the requisite ssh ProxyCommand options to do a multihop ssh to host3 to run a command. Very useful if connecting to firewalled nonroutable hosts or to

I know this may seem nonsensical, but I wanted to issue an rsync invocation that synced nothing at all. (I wanted to avoid a sync by fiddling a config file in some automation rather than changing to auomation to have a skip-the-rsync mode.) Anyway, it seems to me with rsync-3.0.5 that one of: --exclude=/ --exclude=/* --exclude=*/ ought to omit the _entire_ directory tree. In fact, the

Hi, I have been having a problem that seems related to previously reported problems but persists. I am syncing from a 2.6 Solaris box to a 2.8 solaris box. All are running rsync 2.5.5. When I sync (commands simplified for example, always using rsh): 2.8box% rsync -e rsh 2.6box:/path/path/stuff/ /path/path/newstuff/ i.e., the 2.6 box is the server, I get spurious, persistent but inconsistent

Hi all, I have just re-joined the list. I have been using Rsync on my Linux servers for a number of years now without fault. I now have the need to Rsync data between two Solaris 2.7 servers. This has got me stumped... Hoping that someone might have a quick answer for me? bash-2.03$ rsync -auvvvz sydney:/sun /sun opening connection using remsh sydney rsync --server --sender -vvvulogDtprz . /sun

Ok, I know I should probably be using dsync for this, but I'm more familiar with rsync, and didn't think this would be a problem. Here is what I am doing, and what is apparently happening (only done this once, but I'm guessing it will happen each time): rsync -avHP /mnt/vmail/example.com/user1/ /var/vmail/example.com/user1/ chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail/example.com Ok, so far

Sir, How to run the rsync server in the remote machine. I want to mirror the set of directories from one machine to another machine which are in the network. I used the following command : /usr/sbin/rsync -vv --delete --recursive --times --perms --update source directory destinationmachine:destination directory. I got the error: Permission denied. How to tackle this error ? thanks laks

I'm trying to rync working between the UK (Sun box) and India (AIX box) and am having a real problems getting it up and running because every time I do a full transfer it hangs. The Sun box is the one holding the canonical source which we want to mirror. I've been shipped to the India office to get this working and have tried hundreds of things over the last week, I've also scoured

I am having a problem with rsync hanging after completion. The command I am using is: rsync -vaz --delete /banproc/ backenp650:/banproc (thanks jw for the syntax correction) There were 56 deletions on the destination and ~ 1380 files copied total (I gathered these stats by using grep and wc -l on a saved file of my ssh session to the source host).

I would like to set up an ACL for an ethernet port using ebtables rules, and if a security violation occurs, to physically disable the port (i.e. whatever "ifconfig down" does). I did not see such a feature in the ebtables man page. Does this exist anywhere, or do I have to create a new extension for it? -- Dan Eble <dane@aiinet.com> _____ . | _

Hi, I can't get rsync from a PC to an HP-UX or Linux box to work, and am hoping for a pointer or two. I checked the FAQ and googled ... with no luck, so I hope this isn't a patently obvious newbie problem :) I just got interested in trying to use rsync to backup my WinXP PC to a Linux or HP-UX computer. I got the cygwin package from Robert Scholten's site at

Hi all, Ok, I'm attempting to rsync a large datastore (email), and want to change the ownership of the target directories and files. I saw the --chmod option in man rsync, but didn't see a --chown option... What I'd like to do is something like: rsync -avHP --chown vmail:vmail /mnt/old-mail/ /var/vmail/mail/ So the ownership of all dirs and file on the target are vmail:vmail
