similar to: [Bug 8440] New: rsync goes interactive on missing --password-file

I've a script which calls: rsync --password-file=password.txt rsync://server/files /files However, due to an unrelated error password.txt was missing. In authenticate.c:auth_client, the code tries to read from the password file, then tries the RSYNC_PASSWORD env var, then calls getpass(3). This last step is causing problems as, even though the script is intended to run unattended, it

I have run across an interesting issue when running rsync from Solaris to an rsync daemon on Linux. It works properly when I specify the password on the command line: RSYNC_PASSWORD=the_Password rsync -r /tmp/test test_user@test_server::test_user/topdir/subdir However, if I do not specify the password on the command line and am prompted interactively, it always fails. After some

I have a rsync server set up on a win2k server and a win xp pro computer is my client. It's working very well doing the anonymous transfers. However, I've tried setting up a password file and not having any success. rsyncd.conf on my server: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * [serverbu] auth users = user path = c:/serverbu read only = no list = no secrets file =

Hi all, This isn't a bug, its just a lapse in the documentation. I just got a script going that repeats every 5 seconds, that uses rsync to send data from A, running Ubuntu V6.06.1, to B, running cygwin. I got stuck on the issue of preventing the password prompt from interrupting the script. The problem is that the man pages are misleading, they suggest that RSYNC_PASSWORD and

Hi As I want to automate my Desktop backup process, I'm currently trying to finilize a CMD (Windows XP batch) file in order to save different data (outlook.pst, \desktop, \docs, \Favorites ....). My problem is that even with this parameter SET RSYNC_PASSWORD=xxxx It still ask me for a password, blocking of course all the process automation. I'm running either on my Linux backup box

Hi all, I just ran into a problem with rsync-2.6.0. Communication is between two Linux hosts. One host boots, detects the first, runs rsync to copy all data, and then shuts down again (to have a backup for the main server). In the environment during boot, in which rsync is running in client mode, neither USER nor LOGNAME variables are set. In this case, authenticate.c:auth_client gets passed

Hi, I attempted to build v3.3 using Sun Studio 12, but it failed right out of the gate. It looks like it can't find the standard libraries, but according to the make output, it's looking in the right places. Would someone please clue me in as to what I'm missing? Thanks. -John Using FLAGS = -I/opt/heimdal/include -I/usr/sfw/include/openssl -g -xs -xtarget=ultraT1

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".

Under Samba 2.2.4 (and possibly earlier), smbpasswd (when run locally) only really reads the first 8 characters, as opposed to the full password. Obviously, this can cause mass confusion. :) The fix is pretty simple (I would offer a diff, but this is the kind of thing the configure script should check for...) - under Solaris getpass() will only return 8 characters - you must use getpassphrase()

Hello, this patch reworks old-style SASL discovery code. With this patch applied it advertises all configured SASL mechanisms. It makes possible for MS Outlook to use all installed security service providers (SSP), so if someone crazy enough will write CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 SSP we'll support it readily :) Please consider applying.
