Rsync Users and Groups
Hello everybody! I'm trying to configure rsync-server, but still I can't figure out how to manage users and groups. I read in the documentation that I could use both, but there is nothing about how to add a user into a particular group... Why am I doing this? 1. I have about 10 modules, which are different and must be available for some users and not available for other users. 2. There are many users, new users are arriving, some old users are going out, so it would be easier to assign group permissions to the modules and then manage just user-group relations, but I couldn't find that in documentation, nor examples on the internet... Could anybody please give me a hint or a clue about how to assign a user to a particular group? I'm sure that this should work, but I can't find it out myself :( Thank you very much. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Is it possible?

Relative path problem
Hello! I have external HDD for backups, but under Windows it may get different drive letter on different computers, so I would like to use relative path instead of full path like ../Backup instead of /cygdrive/g/Backup In this case I have in the root folder of the drive 2 folders: cygwin-rsync - here rsync and bat-scripts for backup all needed modules Backup - here where all backup files should be stored So when I connect the drive, I go to the folder cygwin-rsync and run there backup.bat... it contains a command like this: bin\rsync.exe -vvrlth --progress --delete-before --password-file password.txt u...@myhost.com::Module1 ../Backup/Module1 This should works (destination folder is one folder up and then Backup folder, etc), but instead it says that: rsync: mkdir "/../Backup/Module1" failed: No such file or directory (2) I don't understand why it adds a slash "/" at the beginning of the destination path? Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong? Thank You very much. Here is the full log: g:\cygwin-rsync>bin\rsync.exe -vvrlth --progress --delete-before --password-file password.txt u...@myhost.com::Module1 ../Backup/Module1 opening tcp connection to myhost.com port 873 sending daemon args: --server --sender -vvltre.LsfxC .

Rsync just hanging sometimes
Hello! I just encountered a weird situation and don't even know how to find out what happened? There is nothing in the rsync-server logs, nothing on the screen, maybe should I add some more keys (options) to get more detailed information? I just successfully synchronized one module and got this problem on the second module... Rsync starts, goes as in the log below and just hangs like this for minutes or maybe even hours and nothing changes... Here is the full output: g:\cygwin-rsyncd>bin\rsync.exe -vvrlth --progress --delete-before --password-file password.txt u...@myhost.com::Module2-Lectures cygdrive/g/Backup/Module2-Lectures opening tcp connection to myhost.com port 873 sending daemon args: --server --sender -vvltre.LsfxC .

Just sometimes I get on the rsync-client something like "connection reset by peer" instead of hanging deadly... Are there any ideas about how to get more debug info in order to understand, what is the real problem? -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
