(Using cobbler 2.0.11, downloaded from epel, on RHEL 5.6)
I'm trying for the first time to use "cobbler replicate" on a potential
slave machine to fetch files from a cobbler master. It fails quickly
with various "rsync" errors.
Although the server end permits rsync to be spawned as an xinetd daemon,
the server has no "/etc/rsyncd.conf". I've found a file called
"/etc/cobbler/rsync.template", which looks promising, and when I simply
copy that into place as"/etc/rsyncd.conf" things looks much healthier.
Two things:
1. I suggest there is a bug: shouldn't there be something on the
master, either during installation or at each "cobbler sync", that
creates this file?
2. The template file on the master contains:
#for repo in $repos:
[repo-$repo]
path = $webdir/repo_mirror/$repo
comment = Cobbler Repo $repo
#end for
and a similar-looking "distro" clause. These look as though they need
unrolling (as part of the installation or "cobbler sync", as above) into
the final "/etc/rsyncd.conf". Is there a command I can run that will
take the template as input, unpack those loop-looking things, and
produce the final file as output?
