Dear List, Currently, I read this in clientserver.c, line 148. motd = lp_motd_file(); I have googled, but didn't the definition of char *lp_motd_file(void). Can anyone help to explain the following code segment. Many thanks. #line 147 ~ 160, in clientserver.c, version 3.0.5 > if (!am_client) { > motd = lp_motd_file(); > if (motd && *motd) { > FILE *f =

Platform: Compaq OpenVMS Alpha 7.3 Compiler: Compaq C T6.5 The following patch resolves compile problems with the IO.C module. The (char) type was being used where (void) was more appropriate based on the actual use of the code. The (char) type was also being used where the usage was actually an (unsigned char). const qualifiers were added to improve compile efficiency. EAGLE> type

Hello, I wrote this patch that allows you to run rsync over an existing I/O connection, instead of creating a new rsh or socket connection. For example, I have a client and server that talk over ssh via a simple custom protocol. I want to use the existing ssh connection to transfer files, but I want the flexibility of rsync to do it. With this patch, I can do the following in my client

hi, I made some changes to generator.c : - reading data, calculating checksums and sending it to the sender now happens in one loop. - the code has become shorter - it uses less memory - 2 malloc's less that may fail - the line will be used all the time - it should be a bit faster It seems to work for me, please have a look at it. You should run "make proto" after

Is there a way to make the rsync client suppress the motd without suppressing other messages when connecting to an rsync server? What I want is to run rsync from cron and have it produce output only when any files have been downloaded or deleted and whenever errors have happened. Otherwise, I want it to be quiet. This doesn't seem to be possible with rsync as of version 2.5.7. When I use the

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

Currently rsync has a bit of a problem with very large files. Dynamic block sizes were introduced to try handle that automatically if the user didn't specify a block size. Unfortunately that isn't enough and the block size would need to grow faster than the file. Besides, overly large block sizes mean large amounts of data need to be copied even for small changes. The maths indicate

Dear List, the attached patch makes rsync of local folders almost as fast as cp. when rsync client and server has detected that they are working in local_server mode, they use local_socket, a unix domain socket pair, to pass the file descriptors of the synced files. the server uses the file descriptor it receives from the client to fast copy from src to dst file. on completion of every file fast

Mark II of the patch set. The first patch (dynsumlen2.patch) increments the protocol version to support per-file dynamic block checksum sizes. It is a prerequisite for varsumlen2.patch. varsumlen2.patch implements per-file dynamic block and checksum sizes. The current block size calculation only applies to files between 7MB and 160MB setting the block size to 1/10,0000 of the file length for a

Hi all, For some time I noticed that my rsync server is not showing a colorfull MOTD... Researching a bit, it turns out to be a problem since rsync-2.6.7 (rsync-2.6.6 is OK). Looking at the NEWS: - The way rsync escapes unreadable characters has changed. First, rsync now has support for recognizing valid multibyte character sequences in your current locale, allowing it to

Greetings and salutations, rsync users. I have a problem. I'm hoping that someone out there could perhaps provide a hand. I've been trying to transfer large amounts of data (lots of data, lots of files) via rsync over an encrypted TCP tunnel, but I seem to be continually getting hangs in the transfers -- things will go along for a bit, and then just come to a screetching halt. There

Precedence: bulk Hello all, I tested openssh-2.1.1p4 briefly on 64-bit Irix 6.5 system. I noticed that when I log on, /etc/motd is printed out twice in the row. This does not happen with SSH.COM's ssh. UseLogin is disabled. Works fine in Linux and FreeBSD. Anyone else (Irix users?) notice anything like this happening? -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties

Hi while testing a new pam module i found this problem: System: Linux 2.4.18/OpenSSH 3.8p1 client/server The output from do_login() in session.c (motd, lastlog, stored pam messages) isn't displayed when Privilege Separation is enabled. I added a fflush(stdout) as the last line of do_login(), now it works. Frank

Hi, and another interesting bug report, where I'm not sure what the correct behaviour of openssh should be. Thanks for your comments: > I find myself frequently using OpenSSH to log in and perform a single > command (particularly in a script to perform some quick, simple task on > multiple machines I administer). If the '-t' option is not included, the > behavior is no

Hello, Recently, I am coding a program about read and write control. And there are some questions confusing me. 1. In info libext2fs: Function: errcode_t ext2fs_get_blocks (ext2_filsys FS, ext2_ino_t INO, blk_t *BLOCKS) Returns an array of blocks corresponding to the direct, indirect, doubly indirect, and triply indirect blocks as stored in the inode structure. So I wrote some codes like

Greetings, I'd like to propose a new option to rsync, which causes it to read device files as if they were regular files. This includes pipes, character devices and block devices (I'm not sure about sockets). The main motivation is cases where you need to synchronize a large amount of data that is not available as regular files, as in the following scenarios: * Keep a copy of a block

Wayne, It's taken a little while for me to get more familiar with the code, but I think I've reached a good breakpoint in improving batch-mode. Let me highlight some of the changes in the attached patch: * --write-batch and --read-batch arguments are no longer passed from client to server. This fixes the current problem that causes the server threads to die when the client

I'm working on a frontend to rsync, and I've got a problem. It's easy to get a list of files and directories from a specific path on an rsync server. But from the root, I've found it very difficult to get a list of modules. I cannot see when the modt stops, and when the list begins. Can anybody help? -- Mvh. Niels Andersen

Rsync team, and interested parties: i was attempting to get rsync to launch from tcpserver[0] (an inetd replacement from djb) and log to stderr for logging via multilog[1] (syslog replacement by djb) and i was unable to get it to log to stdout/ stderr at all. [0] http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html [1] http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html i have attached a patch that allows
