similar to: rsyncing from a compressed tarball.

All, I'm working in an environment *very* restricted by space, and need to sync from that location to another location. So I'd like to be able to sync from a source that is not a filesystem, like a compressed tarball. Is this possible with the --files-from argument (or some other such argument)? If not, what approach would people suggest in adding it? thanks much for any support, ed

hey.. I talked to my sysadmins about getting access to the dtrace_kernel role, and they said they were hesitant to give this out because they thought it was a security risk - ie: that you could use it for privilege escalation. How true is this? Is there a way to make it user safe? If not, why is it offered as an option for regular users? Thanks much, Ed -- This message posted from

All, A bit of background: I work on a QA API on a network that is very choppy (a lot of network interrupts), and we use ssh to do a large part of this automation. This leads to some problems: ssh connections seem to be sensitive to network state, becoming unusable if the choppiness reaches a certain threshold, and either timing out or disconnecting if this happens. Anyways, I stumbled across

hey all, I'm using openssh-3.5p1, was trying to set up a 'reverse telnet' session (sun solaris 2.6 on both machines). Anyways, I was doing: server% ssh -R 1111:<server>:2222 <client> client% ssh -p 1111 <client> where <server> is behind a firewall and <client> cannot reach <server> Anyways the idea was to connect to the socket on

hey, I was wondering - is there an option to rsync which allows you to exclude transfers of files with a certain size or other characteristics? I want to setup a 'partial' rsync mirror where I only pull files under 5M, for example.. I see the option for including/excluding file names in the usage, but not file sizes.. Ed

It's simplistic, but have you tried forcing all icecast code to compile with gdb support enabled, then running it in GDB? ------ Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org >>> The opinions expressed above are entirely my own <<<

hey, I just got an ugly, hard-to-fix surpirse when I upgraded from 3.6 to 3.7 for openssh - Now, in 3.7.1, /etc/default/login overrides --with-default-path! Before, it used to prefer --with-default-path (as configured). I'm hoping that this is a bug. It forces every user to have an appropriate .login,.cshrc, or whatever *or* to comment out the appropriate entries in / etc/default/login!

Hello group, I'm having a very hard time rsyncing efficiently a MySQL database which contains very large binary blobs. (Actually, it's the database of Mantis bug tracker [http://www.mantisbt.org/], with file attachments stored directly in the table rows. I know it's a bad idea from many other reasons, but let's say it was given to me as such.) First, I was dumping the

hey all 'scp -r ' follows symlinks. IMO this is a bug and should be changed - it: a) hampers the use of scp. As it stands, I cannot use 'scp -r' because of this behavior. If someone links to '/', or if I hit a recursive symlink, I'm screwed. b) It is inconsistant with cp. When you 'cp -r' on a file, it does NOT follow the symlink. When you scp

hey all, I was wondering if openssh did ftp via ssl connection - or if not - what unix package out there did this. I'd love to use sftp, but unfortunately the site I need to interface with only has ftp over ssl. Ed

hey all, I was looking for an openssh version that ran on Pocket PC - I need to be able to connect to a server from a Pocket PC in a secure fashion - and I was hoping that it was available in a form that would be usable by CF .Net. Any ideas on where I could get something like this? Is there a port of OpenSSH to pocketPC? Ed
