i've built up rsync on both opensuse & osx from src. on osx, it's v2.6.3 w/ both apple's "Extended Attributes" patches: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.8.ppc/rsync-24/patches/EA.diff http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.8.ppc/rsync-24/patches/PR-3945747-endian.diff and the 'lartmaker' fix (iteself, slightly fixed ...):

hi, it seems there's a more-recent solution, referenced here: http://www.lartmaker.nl/rsync/ that points out: "Since OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger) the MacOS ships with a modified version of rsync. An added option, -E, enables the transfer of extended attributes." exploring, the current apple patches @:

OpenSSH Unix Dev, Mac OS X 10.5 recently shipped with OpenSSH 4.5p1. This build includes a number of patches, some general bug fixes and some platform- specific fixes and enhancements. These patches are available from our open source site (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/OpenSSH-87/ ). Following is a brief description of each patch. We'd be more than happy to

Hi all, Just FYI, this post showed up on the pf mailing list a couple of days ago: Cc: pf at benzedrine.cx From: Axel Rau <Axel.Rau at Chaos1.DE> Subject: Re: mismatch on route through packet/byte counts Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2007 14:37:56 +0100 To: Daniel Hartmeier <daniel at benzedrine.cx> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.752.2) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from

We currently do backup using rsync amongst Linux and Solaris machines. Modulo an ACL issue that we had to patch, this is working extremely well. But I want to add our OSX machines to the mix. This is, unfortunately, leaving me confused about rsyncx. I can do the normal thing from OSX using rsync. But the page for rsyncx says - cryptically, in my ignorant opinion - that rsyncx adds support for

Full_Name: Maha Golestaneh Version: Mac OS OS: Tiger 10.4.3 Submission from: (NULL) (155.232.250.19) Cannot load and run Rcmdr on R for Tiger MacOS X.4.3.

I am a Macintosh computer (MAC OS X Version 10.4.3) user. I would like to run R for structural equation modeling and meta-analysis but am having difficulty using the Rcmdr interface. According to the R commander installation notes for Tiger Macs ­ I need to 1) Install X11.app from Apple Install disks ­ which I have done 2) Install R.app ­ which I have done 3) Install binary package rgl from CRAN

Hey! I have been given the task to mirror our fileserver's filesystem onto a secondary machine for redundancy. The first thing that came to mind was rsync, but now I have few questions as I am far from an expert on this matter. Our file server is running Debian Stable. We use Samba for our Windows users and Netatalk (AFP) for our OS X clients. The filesystem used on the server is

Hi all, I compiled 64-bit R on an Apple Mac G5 running OS X, but it failed make check.

Hi all, I'm setting up a backup script for my Mac, and I'm wondering about the rsync ability of dealing with HFS+ filesystem (resource-fork and such...). I've searched the mailing list archive for this topic and I've found some thread regarding it, but it's not clear to me what is the actual situation. Is the HFS+ officially supported? Will it be in the near future?

I have a feature request for rsync. I tried posting it to the FAQ-o-matic, but that system didn't seem to be accepting new questions. I hope this is an okay list for the request--apologies if it's misdirected. Mac OS X provides support for the Mac file system resource forks and mac specific metadata (e.g., creator and file type). Most Unix applications ignore this information, but it

Hi, This is my first post to this list. I have been backing up some files with rsync from My Mac OS X 10.4.7 machine, which uses HFS+ filesystem to a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE machine, which uses UFS2 filesystem. They go across a 100-base-T lan, which has little or no traffic on it. On my Mac, I mount the nfs exported volume on the FreeBSD machine with: $ mount -t nfs moe:/backup

Hi. Apple have a bunch of patches to openssh that they have folded into the version that's shipped with MacOSX. Some of these are very convenient: like automagically starting an ssh-agent at login/boot time and the ability to have SSH passphrases stored and fetched from the Keychain. It would be nice if these could be considered for rolling in to a future release of openssh. FWIW

Hello, Since Tiger, we do not need to get RsyncX since the version shipped handles resource forks with the -E option. However, I get some strange results. Indeed, when I sync two directories (on the same machine for a start), if the files synched are regular Unix files (without resources) for example an XCode Java project with lots of Java files, everything works fine. Between two syncs,

Hi. Several months ago, I posted my first pass at a patch to transfer Mac OS X HFS+ metadata (resource forks and Finder metadata) to non-HFS+ filesystems (Linux, Solaris, etc). I finally got a chance to update the patch to reflect suggestions offered on the list. Thanks for the ideas, this version should be a big improvement. The diff and a binary (and a fuller explanation) can be found at:

As you all know, rsync doesn't have any special handling for Mac OS X HFS+ resource forks. Kevin Boyd made RsyncX and rsync_hfs, to address this gap, but they only work when the destination filesystem is also HFS+. I haven't been able to find any references to an rsync that is capable of syncing from HFS+ to UFS (etc). The only solutions I've seen involve lots of preprocessing

Well, I finagled a system up that works with Mac OS X and Rsync, I configured it in teh following steps: SSH Authentication key logs in without a password to the host machine jarmusch.

Hi, I have recently upgraded to Tiger and needed a way to launch the rsync daemon on system-startup. Tiger includes the launchd which is responsible for launching daemons. I have made my config file available to download for anybody who is interested in doing the same: http://www.designsolution.co.uk/resources/rsync/ Perhaps this may be added to the resources section of the rsync site?

Our samba server is running Solaris 9 and Samba 3.0.2.a . For reasons *outside the scope of this question* we are using plaintext passwords and authenticating via our NFS server. (I know this isn't a great idea, but that's not the question) With Panther, plaintext passwords worked fine. Snooping, I see the plain text password and username go through. With Tiger, we first had to apply
