Hi all, I'm sorry if this is off topic here. I'll send this one anyways, but do let me know if you are interested in related project's release announcements so that I don't spam this list unnecessarily in the future. rsyncrypto is a utility that encrypts file in a rsync friendly way. Small changes to the plain text file will result in small changes to the cypher text file.

Hi all, A while back I announced "Rsyncrypto", a rsync friendly encryption system. With version 0.11 just out, and proving reasonably usable in and on its own right, we now have an independent mailing list discussing just rsyncrypto. I have therefor allowed myself this one last notice to this list. All further rsyncrypto related announcements will go to

Hi all, Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?

Hi I'm assuming that Wayne is the obvious destination for this request. Can we make the mailing list reject emails from non-subscribers? This would drastically reduce the amount of spam we receive.

Hi all, I am wondering about the following suggested change: In isolinux.asm, line 50 (at least in my Debian patched version), add the line "hlt" inside the "DO_IDLE" macro. Explanation: When running isolinux on a vmware box, the boot menu takes up all available CPU. This change seems to solve this problem. I have read elsewhere that such a change will not go in, as the

Hi All, I am using rsync to backup our office server to our Internet server (RHE). As an association for doctors we are looking at providing a backup service for their practices using rsync. As it would be patient data it would need to be encrypted. I have found a few options, namely esync wurt rsyncrypto Does anyone have experience with the above and perhaps like to recommend one?

What the maximum filesize rsync can transfer? I'm trying to rsync one of my servers to another but the rsync is croaking on a file that's barely 1GB. Tips, hints, suggestions? rsync server is AIX 4.3.3 ML11 - rsync 2.6.3 rsync client is AIX 5.3 ML1 - rsync 2.6.4 Thanks -Jeff -- Jeff Schoby Unix/Network Admin City of Columbia, Missouri 573.874.6320

Hi, I'm debugging an audio problem that started sometime post wine-20040505. That release works fine, but running under wine-20040615 the program fails. Looking at the Changelog for 0615 it says that 'lots of audio bugs were fixed'. Probably true, but it looks like one was created. So, how can I download Wine for a specific date? Say wine-20040525. I tried to figure out these

Hi,I am student at LUMS SSE (http://cs.lums.edu.pk) and an active RSync user. Just few days ago, Google wrote about Courgette*: an algorithm which is specially written for syncing executables. By using Courgette, Google made diff size 1/10th of previous techniques used. I was wondering if this (or something on same lines) can be used to optimize RSync? I am senior and have to do a project. I am

I thought rsync, would calculate checksums of large files that have changed timestamps or filesizes, and send only the chunks which changed. Is this not correct? My goal is to come up with a reasonable (fast and efficient) way for me to daily incrementally backup my Parallels virtual machine (a directory structure containing mostly small files, and one 20G file) I?m on OSX 10.5, using rsync

Dear All, I have searched the email archive but i didn't find a clear answer(maybe I miss it) ^^ 1. Does rsync run on TCP/IP? 2. Without ssh, then rsync will be transferred in plain text? 3. Does rsync support Samba? Am I true to say that rsync, which is mainly on user authetication, is transparent to the storage like ftp? Any help to any questions will be appreciated! Thank You!

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding syncing of large files. We have a setup where we need to sync a 500GB file with changes in random blocks. The changes are made in a manner, so moving blocks is not probable (actually it will never happen). As I understand it, the way rsync works is: - remote server calculates all checksum blocks and transmits these to client - local client calculates

Hi folks, Are there any tricks known to let rsync operate on huge tar files? I've got a local tar file (e.g. 2GByte uncompressed) that is rebuilt each night (with just some tiny changes, of course), and I would like to update the remote copies of this file without extracting the tar files into temporary directories. Any ideas? Regards Harri

Dear All, I am very new in open source. Please give me some ideas on the following questions. What is the liscense of rsync for commerical use? Do I need to pay for commercial use? Is it still GPL? A similar case is MySQL. It has commercial liscense for business use. Any help will be appreciate! Thanks! Regards, Fred

I am looking at add some code to the rsync tool but want to know if I am "totally out to lunch". I realize that my example is so trivial that I am sure I will get replies of "don't do it that way", but bear in mind that it is just an example, and there are real world cases where I think this functionality would be useful. I am trying to figure out if rsync can do

Is there a way to automate the rsync password or maybe disable? I am currently running rsync from a Windows command prompt and would like to run it from a .bat file. I have read through the config man pages but not sure if my ssh_config file is even being used. I tried passwordauthentication = no but it still asked for password. I have seen a option for --password-file= but I believe this does not

Hi there Is there a way with rsync to encrypt data at the source before transmitting? Not talking about the actually transmission, but the data itself. I've got a few department heads that want their data secured before it leaves their computer so that no one in the office can access the data except for them. Thanks.

Hi, I have a small server at home. I like to put it 'online' and secure it as good as possible. The counterside of putting your personal backups on a server is that it might get hacked... and you don't want have to have your personal docs online... Do you think encryption is needed? How to use encryption with rsync? Thanks in advance, ~D

Hi all, I know the question came up once or twice lately, and as I needed something similar myself, I actually sat down and wrote it. The project is called "sshpass", and it is available from sourceforge at http://www.sf.net/projects/sshpass. In a nutshell, it allows non-interactive use of ssh in password authentication mode. This warning is repeated in the README, as well as at the
