Wayne, Attached is a patch worth of suggested man page improvements for --no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks. I think new users would find my explanations clearer and more complete, although you may want to make additional changes. I regenerated rsync.1 and the patch includes changes to it, but my yodl is somewhat weird, so I suggest you run yodl again yourself. -- Matt McCutchen

Rsync people, I am preparing to overhaul my Web site's build system, and I am looking for a convenient way to collect files and directories from various places on my computer and put them at various locations inside a destination directory to be posted to my Web site. So far, my script has been running rsync once for each source, but this is too slow. Is there a way to get rsync to collect

Yep I tried those two options, and nothing... Even if the pre-user conf files have a log file in the same directory, which I touch before trying, messages keep going to syslog... I tried with 666 permissions on rsyncd.log too just to make sure... The following is one of the user's conf file, hope theres a clue. Thanks! log file = /home/pluto/rsyncd.log <<< This is the problem!!

As far as I know this patch has no security implications -- I don't believe that allowing sshd to use get_local_name() (in canohost.c) on a connected socket to determine it's own fqdn will allow a malicious client (or router or dns server) to make it come to the wrong conclusion. But please let me know if you think I'm wrong. Please also let me know if you're just not interested

I would like to propose some improvements to rsync's filters. (1) Add a notation that makes a pattern match both a file and everything under it if it happens to be a directory. One possibility: ending a path in //. "+ mydir//" would be equivalent to "+ mydir" "+ mydir/**". Just some syntactic sugar. (2) Add a third sender behavior to "hide" and

Good afternoon all, I'm currently working on a backup script that will fetch a set of logs from remote machines and store them on a central machine. The command I'm using is of the form ${RSYNC} -avz root@${site}:/data/access_* ${LOG_REPOSITORY}/${site}/ Each site usually holds about 8 files with the prefix "access_". Some machines however only have one, and this is where my

Hi, the combination of --keep-dirlinks and --delete (--delete-during, --delete-delay) erroneously deletes symlinks to directories on the receiver. With --delete-before and --delete-after it works as expected. (rsync version 3.0.3 protocol version, on Debian Lenny) I don't think that this behaviour is intended. Details/example: - Host 1 directory-structure: drwx------ ./1

Hello folks, trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port; it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to ignore recursive links. Example: # ls -la . total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:42 . drwxrwxr-x 8 bldmstr staff 512 Aug 16 21:41 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 bldmstr staff 2 Aug 20 12:07 bogus -> .. if you use

I've been using the --keep-dirlinks feature of 2.6.3pre1. I also use -x (--one-file-system) and --delete-after. The symlinked directories on the receiver are symlinked to a partition other than the one where the target of the rsync resides (that's the whole point of this nifty --keep-dirlinks feature). I discovered that the symlinked directories are not being processed for deletions.
