similar to: rsync daemon only accessable as root

Hello, I am a first time user of Rsync. I am having problems configuring an Rsync server on a Solaris server on which I have *no* root previliges. I have searched the archives and the web,but none of the articles/documents have proved helpful beyond an extent. Since I cannot be root, I have installed rsync v2.5.2 from sources in $HOME/rsync. The rsync binary is in $HOME/rsync/bin My

I've tried as best I can to get this worked out, and crawled the web and the documentation but I just can't seem to figure out how to maintain ownership and permissions from the sending side using rsync in daemon mode. I feel I have to be missing something stupid with the proper use of uid/gid/fake super. I'm trying to automate synchronizing some program binaries between a production

Hi, I am having one machine which i want to configure as a rsync server. Onthe machine I had kept the following file /etc/rsyncd.conf motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [rsync-test] path = /home/xidcit/test comment = XIDC Rsync Server uid = nobody gid = nobody read

Hello, I've been trying to get rsync to work in daemon mode between two win2k boxes without success. The client rsync invariably comes back with: rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151) With cygwin1.3.3/rsync2.4.6, cygwin1.3.9/rsync2.5.1 or cygwin1.3.9/rsync2.5.2 (and with various patches, principally those

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.

I'm trying to understand how to properly setup the /etc/rsyncd.conf file to run an rsync daemon with a secrets file specified in a module - the rsync.conf manpage does not spell it out clearly enough. Rsync server is rsync-2.5.6. If this is my /etc/rsyncd.conf file: ------------------------------------ log file = /var/log/rsync uid = root gid = root [test] uid = rsync1 gid =

Hi Folks -- I've recently had the need to add a piece of functionality to rsync that allows one to run 'rsync --daemon' (rsync in "rsync server" mode) over SSH. My main goal was to be able to use some of the features from rsyncd.conf(5) (notably modules) while still using SSH for authentication and network transport. Background: I wanted to have the capability of setting

Greetings, Here is my configuration: a rsync linux server, a rsync windows client. I would like to run a rsync from windows in a .bat file. The problem is that a password prompt is always shown. I have read the archives and the man pages: i have create a rsyncd.secret like this: rsync:thePassword Here is my rsyncd.conf file: [rsync] path=/ uid=nobody gid=nobody auth users=rsync secrets

Hi NG, I want to do incremental backups to a remote server running rsyncd (because daemonless transfer via ssh often hangs!). In contrast to transfer via ssh (without remote rsyncd) this doesn't seem possible, or do I miss something? Imagine I want to incrementally backup `mydir' to the backup space `backup' on e remote server `alpha' running an rsync daemon. rsyncd on

I am looking for someone who knows the rsync protocol byte specifics, so I can write the documentation for the file list and file data transfer parts of the protocol. I have already written a simple explanation of the protocol handshake, and I would really like for the end result to be place with the code or on the website. I have attached what I have written so far, a rough draft of what I

With the following server config: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [offsite] path = /media/external/ comment = Offsite backup read only = no hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/24 auth users = backup secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt uid = 0 gid = 0 I tried the following for --link-dest and they all tried to transfer all

Hi, I have searched the archived, and see this question has come up with some frequency, but the solution by the original poster is never posted or the question is not answered completely. I have also RTFM (rsync and ssh), and I've been trying examples that I have googled. So here it is again. BoxA --internet-- BoxB (accessable only by ssh) -- BoxC I want to backup BoxC to BoxA. I want

Hi, I'm trying to setup automatic sync of files over SSH from node2 to node1. node2 is the "server" and node1 is the "client". I have setup rsync like this on the nodes which runs AIX (4.3.3 and 5.1): 1. Installed rsync from Linux Toolbox (rsync-2.5.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm) on both nodes. 2. Added following to both nodes /etc/services file: rsync 873/tcp 3. Added

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:

I've only just seen the response from May 9, as I'm not enrolled in the list (too much mail already!).

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:

I have set up an Rsync server on FreeBSD 5.3 and plan on having windows clients synchronize data to it. Rsync running as a daemon works fine. I can successfully copy data up to the server and view it via scp. Also- I can connect via ssh and run rsync as well. HOWEVER- I cannot connect "passwordless" with SSH and then connect to the rsync daemon. The following demonstartes what I

Hi!:) - try using the sudo command as a prefix to all of that. I know that if I didn't do that it would default to nobody.nobody when I copied. -Tito > > Hi All, > I recently installed Rsync to perform backup features - this > includes backing up a /home dir and keeping ownerships/permissions > intact is obviously very important.... > > However when I perform.
