similar to: Backing up individual user home dirs using user privs.

Hey All, We have our linux server integrated with our WindowsAD via nss_ldap and pam_ldap and everything is working fine. We are hoping to use rsync to backup user specified directories to the network drives. Now rsync only seems to use auth when using SSH, or when using a static passwd file. Is there a patch or option to allow rsync to user system passwd's ? PAM ? LDAP ? I posted

Hello, I've already tried asking at the cwrRsync forums with no luck yet, so I thought I would try my luck here. According to the rsync man pages, with the -e option you can use other remote shells, and I had thought plink was one of them, but I could be wrong. I can't seem to find any information anywhere about the proper syntax. What I've been trying, are all kinds of combination

I am attempting to utilize the exclude from option in my rsync configuration file (rather than maintain lists on users machines) but it does not appear to be working. One example, I placed *.mp3 in the file to keep them from syncing mp3 files to the server and jamming up space. But rsync just seems to ignore this and syncs the files anyway without any errors to the syslog. All of my

I am trying to set up an rsync server on windows 2000 and red hat linux 7.1, but unsuccesfully. I haven't been able to find detailed information in the man pages about this issue, which makes it quite hard to figure out. So far I have set up an ftp server and a http server, which I guess would be required for rsync to transfer the files through. Secondly I have created the required files:

Hi All: I am new to rsync so be gentle with me. I have been able to get rsync working enough to be able to list modules but not transfer files. When I try to transfer a file from the client to the server I use the command: rsync -avz fapmenu fisdev::bak The client displays the following messages: @ERROR: access denied to bak from pgiprd.forsoft.com (192.168.2.19) rsync:

Hi all: I tried to start a rsync daemon under my user name (not an administrator) on debian linux box(linux kernel 2.4.27), and failed. The command I used is > rsync -v -v --daemon --config=rsyncd.conf This command returns without any error although the daemon does not get started. The rsyncd.conf I used is as follows. Do I miss anything in the configuration file? Any help is appreciated.

warning: rsync/sysadmin newbie question... I want to sync the web directory from my production server to my backup server (through ssh). rsync is working fine, except that it doesn't seem to authenticate my rsync user which is not a system user. If I run the command manually, sshd asks for the far end user's password. If I use that user's password, the files are rsynced to a

Hello everybody. I got a strange problem, which I hope to solve with your help. I'm doing "remote backups" using rsync in an ssh tunnel. In the last setup I realized, something is driving me crazy and I can't find *what* the problem is. I managed to successfully login via ssh in a "passwordless" way (by means of RSA-keys). After this step is done and I'm logged

Hey all, Like a lot of folks, I use rsync to pull content out to production web servers. Tastes great, less filling. Here's what I'd like to be able to do: Sometimes a web tree is not ready to sync, for whatever reason. I have many modules available, so stopping ryncd is not an option. I'd like to be able to tell rsync in daemon mode "this particular module is not available at
