I'm trying to set up a back-up file server (192.168.123.3) that will
rsync files from the main production file server (192.168.123.4). The
production file server is set up to run rsync --daemon, and I know it
is doing so because on my backup server I can execute
rsync 192.168.123.4::
and get the list of modules as follows:
etc
home
samba
Here's my /etc/rsyncd.conf file
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
use chroot = yes
read only=yes
max connections = 2
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
hosts allow = 192.168.123.3
hosts deny = *.*.*.*
[home]
path=/home
[samba]
path=/var/local/samba
But when, on the back-up server 192.168.123.3, I run
rsync -avv -e ssh 192.168.123.4::home/* /home
and
rsync -avv -e ssh 192.168.123.4::samba/* /samba
nothing happens, i.e., the command just returns to the command prompt
with no error messages or anything, and the files don't not update on
192.168.123.3.
If I run
rsync -avv -e ssh 192.168.123.4:/home/* /home
or
rsync -avv -e ssh 192.168.123.4:/var/local/samba/* /samba
I get prompted for the root login for 192.168.123.4, and the rsync
appears to work fine.
I really want to use the anonymous rsync method so as to avoid having
to type in the password manually, so that I can automate this with a
cron script.
Please help.
Regards,
Berend Tober
