Hi All,
I'm trying to set up rsyncd to work on a MacBook Pro (Tiger/10.4.7),
rsync v 2.6.3. I have gotten it to work fine via rsync with shared
ssh keys on another Powerbook, but the rsyncd version is more
attractive because of the rsyncd.secrets file (no need to set up
another user or to require the user to allow a remote login with his
key. The first is too much keyboard/mouse time; the second is a
security hole and will be actively resisted by the user base.
The client's rsyncd.conf file is:
---
auth users = wheel, backuppc
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
strict modes = true
use chroot = no
max verbosity = 10
[etc]
/private/etc
[homes]
/Users
[preferences]
/Library/Preferences
------------------------------------------------
and /etc/rsyncd.secrets file allows the backuppc user in.
On the server side, the relevant lines from the client config are:
# do these 2 actually do anything if method is rsyncd?
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/private/etc', '/Users'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = undef;
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1;
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = '/usr/bin/rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host nice -n 19
$rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host nice -n
19 $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'etc', 'homes', 'preferences';
$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'likearollingstone'; # wheel
$Conf{RsyncdAuthRequired} = 1;
$Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb} = 0.01;
$Conf{RsyncArgs} and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} are not edited
When I try to run the backup from the server, it implies a good login
(confirmed by the syslog) and then:
...
2006-07-11 10:22:44 full backup started for directory etc
2006-07-11 10:22:45 Got fatal error during xfer (chdir failed)
2006-07-11 10:22:50 Backup aborted (chdir failed)
Googling til my fingers bleed reveal little on this error.
The syslog also reveals:
Jul 11 10:22:40 bongo rsyncd[1261]: params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring
badly formed line in configuration file: /private/etc\n
Jul 11 10:22:40 bongo rsyncd[1261]: params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring
badly formed line in configuration file: /Users\n
Jul 11 10:22:40 bongo rsyncd[1261]: params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring
badly formed line in configuration file: /Library/Preferences\n
I edited the files with joe - is the std newline (\n) still verboten
on Apples?
