When issuing a net rpc group list I see two entries for the same group name: sudo net rpc group list Password: Domain Faculty Domain Guests Domain Admins Domain Admins Domain Users So I have 3 questions. 1) could this be the cause of my failure to be able to join machines to the samba domain? 2) how do I remove one of these groups 3) how to I check membership in the 'Domain Admins'

I have created a domain controller using samba 3.0.20. I following howto's from a couple of books and the samba.org site. I was able to use net rpc vampire to migrate the old nt4 domain user accounts, machine accounts, and trusts. However, now when I attempt to use add a new machine to the domain I receive and error. From windows I get: "The user name could not be found" When I

Hi-- Ok. I?ve now run into the next thing I can?t find in man, and this time, I googled as well: --exclude /afs/\* I thought you could just say: --exclude /afs/* or even --exclude /afs/ To exclude the entire afs directory. Can you explain what the purpose of the \ and * are here? Thanks again :) All My Best, Jeffrey on 8/6/06 5:00 AM, rsync-request@lists.samba.org at

I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla, but could not find any reference to a problem like this. Vitals: -rsync 2.6.2 with security patch

Hi, I've tried various combinations of --exclude and --include, but I can't quite get it. What I'd like to do is only mirror certain directories in a tree. For example, say a directory tree starting at /x contained under it several directories named "abc". I want to mirror only the "abc" directories and what's under them and nothing else. /x/abcdef/456

Hi! Is there a possibiliy to tell rsync only to copy files less than eg 10Mb of size? I'm running a dedicated backup-server, and would like to skip backing up my downloaded iso-files. They can bee downloaded again if requeired ;-) -- Henning Wangerin <mailinglists-after-041101_reply-not-possible@hpc.dk>

Hello I have been using cwRsync on some Windows boxes, backing up to a Linux server. I have found some issues which files being open and not being copied etc, so I decided that I would log the output from the rsync command on the Windows clients so that I can look at them. On the Windows boxes, I put the rsync command in a batch file and run that automatically each evening. However, if I simply

Hi, We use rsync to share data between two remote sites. We are using rsync after configuration of the rsync.conf file. I created a module in the file with the relevant entries and permissions. The problem is that I get "connection refused ", when I try to run rsync in the following way: root@rsync1-mpg:/root# rsync ptsinf01.pt.intel.com:: rsync: failed to connect to

for some strange reason, our wins servers occasionally drop samba servers out of there name space. to deal with this, I cron'ed a restart of samba at midnight everynight. This was a quick solution, but a lousy one. I would rather have some way to have samba regularly send name registration requests to wins. Is there a way to do this? barring that, is there some interface I can query on samba

Hi there Is there a commercial license for using Rsync or the Rsync algorithm within a commercial product? I appreciate that Rsync as it stands is GNU and therefore it cannot be used in this way, but I thought that I would ask the list. I understand that it is open source, but we have an application that would benefit from something like Rsync and therefore thought we would ask the question. If

I was under the impression that --include and --exclude worked by matching patterns in the order given, and whichever matched first, whether that was an include or exclude determined the action for that file. I have a big directory from which I am attempting to transfer selected files. I want all files where the first level directory is anything, the second level directory is "2005"

Hi All, I've been using the great file-attr-restore script with rsync to get around problems with uid's on a portable hard drive... It's the perfect solution for me. (for those that haven't seen it,you can get it here: http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/file-attr-restore ) Anyway, I found a small bug in the script. file-attr-restore fails for file names with dollar

I have read through some of the info on using dfs roots and I am needing some advice. Since a unc is still \\servername\ based it occurs to me that the only way to do this properly is to create a smb.conf file that publishes a netbios name like \\dfsroot -- Then, to create a failover system, I would take that config file and copy it around to multiple samba server. Then, have some kind of watch or

I have configured a domain controller in samba 3.0.xxx. I followed the how-to at samba.org and I think I may have missed a step because now when I attempt to add a machine to the domain, I get an error. I am using tdbsam as the user/group store. I ran the net group map to make windows groups to unix groups. I have verified that my administrator users are in group wheel. I do not use the map

Hi rsync devs and users, I want to use rsync to synchronize home directories on two PCs. It works fine if I start rsync after working on a host each time I leave. But instead of operating modes "host1 -> host2" and "host2 -> host1" I would like to have a mode "host1 <-> host2" to allow synchronizing at any time -> Scenario: - on host1 files A,B have

We put together a samba 3.0.x server to replace an nt domain controller 3 weeks ago when our nt servers were being hit by and unpatched/unpatchable vulnerability in nt. we went through numerous howto's and other documents. The net rpc vampire seem to grab everything fine. However, now when we attempt to add a machine to the domain we get a failure. looking through the log files we see

I have another small feature suggestion, it should not cause such a stir as the whole "file list" issue (I kind of wish I never said anything about it :) ). What about adding a "UMASK" setting to rsync (for use on the command line and/or perhaps rsyncd.conf)? I realize that it may be a problem/conflict with -p, but I think it could be a useful feature. -- Aaron W Morris

I am trying to use the syntax: rsync -av -e "ssh -l ssh-user" rsync-user@host::module /dest found at http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html but am getting the following: rsync -av -e "ssh -l sshuser" rhost.asu.edu::home uc-sirc1/home/ rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at

Back in June I posted about the trouble I've been having backing up some local directories and I'm no further ahead than back then. Link for that discussion: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-June/017882.html In summary: I'm copying nearly a million small files from the main disk in a server to another disk in the same machine. Still on this server, but at a different time,

hi there, i have a rsync server running in deamon mode, with a 1000 plus clients connecting to it to retrieve files. the problem is that when the clients connects the server has many rsync processes running on it, each of which is around 3.8mb each. Basically the server is running out of memory and grinding to a halt. is there anyway of controlling this or is adding more memory the only option?
