similar to: trying to understand --include and --exclude

I'm trying to set up a machine which will be running multiple instances of NSD to serve different sets of zones from different interfaces. What I'm running into is that I can't specify different PID files to refer to on the command line. Are there any shortcuts or do I need to go write a patch? Any other implications of multiple instances? --

My understanding of the man page description of --exclude vs. --include is that the list of these is kept in order, and file names are searched against these parameters in that order for the first that matches and that one makes the decision. It doesn't seem to be working exactly as expected. But there is a factor involved that's making it unclear, which is whether or not *'s should

A while back, I asked if there had been any consideration in making rsync support direct ssl (as opposed to just ssh). I've been looking around for a secure way (e.g. encrypted, so passwords are never in the clear, and even content is obscured from sniffers) to allow a set of limited-trust users (limited-trust being defined as mostly customers, whom you trust with their own data, but not with

This problem has persisted for as long as I've used rsync. When the --delete option is used, not all files are deleted from the target, even though said files are not present in the source. The particular cases that cause this are when the target has a directory with files, and the source is something else, at least a symlink (this is the case I have seen). I'm taking a guess to say that

It guess I still haven't figured out the entire sematics of the --include and --exclude options. From reading the man page, it seems to say that what happens is that each file being checked is tested against each pattern in order, and when one matches the tests end, and whether it is --include or --exclude determines if that file is included or excluded. So I have on my server a big file

After doing a fresh extraction of the source for 2.6.0, I execute ./configure and it enters a loop with no output before or during. I let run 20 minutes just to see if it would ever do anything and it did nothing else. Host system has: Linux: 2.4.23 Slakcware: 9.0 bash: 2.05b.0 gcc: 3.2.2 glibc: 2.3.1 I have a big (huge) strace of it here:

I think someone posted this before, but I can't find it in the archives. I am using rsync to pull down source files to be compiled. The delete options are used to clear out any old files left over from previous. Normally this works. I've run into one case where it persistently fails. Within the directory created during compiling is a symlink to another directory, also created during

I get this error: ============================================================================= KLIBCCC usr/kinit/resume.o usr/kinit/resume.c:15:66: linux/config.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [usr/kinit/resume.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [klibc] Error 2 ============================================================================= There is no linux/config.h in

How hard would it be to have rsync do the file recursion scan on both the source tree and the destination tree at the same time in parallel? Would that require a protocol change, or could just a program change be enough? I have some very large directories I'd like to syncronize. Total time to scan through these millions of files is a substantial portion of an hour or even exceeds it. It

If I understand privsep correctly, and I'm not sure I do as there are some ambiguities in the illustration of what processes are doing what, there is a way to avoid doing fd passing. What I see is that fd passing is done to send the PTY to the user privileged process after the monitor process was requested to set one up. Why not go ahead and have the monitor set one up before it forks the

I have the sshd daemon located at /sbin/ssh_22 in this scenario (because I have more than one daemon with separate executable images). After upgrading from 3.6.1p2 to 3.7p1, with the /sbin/ssh_22 copy replaced by mv (not by writing over the existing image), I do SIGHUP and get this message logged: Sep 16 15:07:36 vega sshd_22[22552]: Received SIGHUP; restarting. Sep 16 15:07:36 vega

Now that I got klibc to build, the next step is to leanr what it takes to compile ... and most importantly, link ... a program with klibc. Past experience with the GNU toolchain tells me GCC will be a bit of a trouble maker in this, probably trying to make inappropriate library references that would work fine with glibc. I do not currently have any intent to make shared/dynamically linked

I have an openssh RPM package that restarts the sshd server during an upgrade if the daemon is already running. So far, so good, restart works. But I observed the following behaviour: - when issuing rpm -Uvh bla.rpm, rpm, obviously, opens the rpm file and gets a file descriptor. Say, 8. - rpm does its stuff and spawns a shell to execute the %post script. The shell also gets fd 8 (should rpm

I just noticed that there is an extra blank line in the output generated by rsync when the --dry-run (-n) flag is used. This seems to have started with 2.6.0. Is this desired? The reason why I'm asking is because I use scripts that parse the output from rsync and little modifications in verbosity can make or break things easily.

I just upgrade a file server from RH7.2 to RH8.0. Now, I am having a heck of a time trying to sync up more than 345GB of data. I keep getting "kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 10101 (rsync)" in /var/log/message. Has anyone seen this problem before? Thanks! Randy

I have repeatable cases where a (very large) file contents are the intended content of a device (partition) of that exact size. The target device is already mostly of that content, but a few block have been changed. I want to restore the device contents back to what the file originally was. I'm trying to find a way to have rsync's write end open the device as a file and do its thing to

The cause is, of course, that the tree being syncronized ie getting larger, so of course rsync is slowing down. But in the case of my particular file tree, there is a way it could be speeded up, but this would obviously also need a change in the rsync protocol to accomplish it. Any tree that has major unchanged subbranches would benefit from this. The file tree I'm syncronizing in this case

Hi, i try to learn how rsync lock files for create a backup, but.. not find any on www. some can help me and give any HOWTO or FAQ or document ? Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

I'm finding even less on rsync and SSL. I would have imagined someone would have done something with this already, but apparently not. So I guess I need to ask and see for sure: has anyone worked on issues of using rsync via SSL, such as with stunnel? I want to have encrypted access, either anonymous or authenticated, but without granting any SSH access to anyone (e.g. the rsync
