similar to: Cache file list in daemon mode?

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 =

Hello all, I'm not a total newbie, but probably close enough. I have tried to find the answer to this question, but have been unsuccessful. I'm testing out rsync over ssh using empty passphrases between 2 OpenBSD 3.5 boxes using rsync 2.5.7 (yes i know i should upgrade, but can't because of BSD ports issues). Everything seems to be working, but I'm very confused as to why it is

Hello. I running rsync in daemon mode (rsync --daemon) Everything seems to work well until I try to protect item with password. here is my /etc/rsyncd.conf : use chroot = yes max connections = 10 syslog facility = local5 [ftp] path = /var/ftp comment = ftp secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets auth users = gate1 here is my /etc/rsyncd.secrets gate1:abcdefg Here

I am running rsync version 2.56 in daemon mode on a server running Redhat 8.0. When I check my log file (located in /var/log/rsyncd.log), the only lines I see have to do with the server starting up, like so: 2003/09/11 16:53:42 [15025] rsyncd version 2.5.6 starting, listening on port 873 I would like to see output relating to connections, usernames etc., so I set up the following rsyncd.conf

Gang, I've read the manual(s), surfed google, spent about 5 hours on this, to no avail.... I'm trying to run rsync in server mode and it appears to start normally, but it refuses all connections (refuses connection when I tried telnetting in on localhost 873!). I've turned off all firewalls on this server (do I dare tell you guys that?...), which is fine: it is on a local network. I

I just installed rsync on two machines, I think I'm a complete moron, and I need a clue bat. The remote machine's /etc/rsyncd.conf (just for testing): use chroot = no log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [auth] path = /var/www/auth comment = apache authentication files. read only = yes Then for a test, I fired up

This is a newbie question. I've looked through the archives and haven't found an answer to this. I set up rsync in inetd.conf to respond on request. When I give a remote request to the machine, I get the following error: paladin:~ tamara$ rsync -avr /Volumes/Music/Pictures/ rsync:// tamara@server/Pictures/ rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]

Hi everyone. I have a problem: I was running rsync --daemon on a Ubuntu 6.10 linux without problems. I used it to sync our company intranet from a Windows host through deltacopy. Then I migrated my system to new hardware and installed Ubuntu 7.10 on it. I run rsync --daemon with the same rsyncd.conf file and it?s not listening to any requests. I?m trying to sync the same directories from the

Hi all, Tripped over a documentation bug. I'm guessing the behavior I've found isn't a bug in itself as it's kind of implied by chroot (unless the /etc/passwd db is read *before* you do the chroot call), so I'm calling it a documentation bug. The Setup: System A: running rsync --daemon from xinetd, configured with a read-only share. System B: syncing a local directory

Maybe the daemon is running but I don't think so: mkb@veri:/var/log$ ps -elf|grep rsync 0 S mkb 24869 21866 0 80 0 - 17433 pipe_w 15:26 pts/4 00:00:00 grep rsync and this is when I've tried both of a) /usr/bin/rsync --daemon -v b) sudo /sbin/chkconfig rsync on I also see, when trying to see which rsync modules are loading, the follow error message (when invoked from another

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

We are running rsync in daemon mode (::) (two colons), and in /etc.rsyncd.conf there is a lock file specified: log file = /var/adm/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock But I do not see the lock file....... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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'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

Greetings all. Due to security concerns we are switching our backup processes from "SSH tunnel to rsync daemon" to "Running rsync over ssh in --server mode". In daemon mode we had a nice conglomerate log file of all of the backups that ran. Now that I am tweaking the scripts to run over --server mode I see that by default there is no remote logging. From what I have read on

I've noticed a weirdness in rsync. Let me explain it briefly with an example. Below is a test script: #!/bin/sh cat >rsyncd.conf <<EOF address = localhost use chroot = no hosts allow = localhost [from] path = /tmp/from read only = yes comment = r/o EOF RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG="rsync --address=localhost --config=rsyncd.conf --daemon" \ rsync -av --address=localhost

In rsyncd.conf I'd like to be able to specify something like: [module1] gateway 10.168.172.9 or (I think we have to change the protocol a little for this one): [module2] redirect datasource.my.domain I've run into this need a few times, and I think it might be useful enough to add (both of these) to the daemon configuration. I'm asking the list to see if either of these might

Hi, We use one server from which many other clients download files. This operates in daemon mode over ssh. Is it possible that there is a max number of connections the rsyncd can have on the server? Where is this value set? This is what I see on the client side: rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (131) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(759)
