I am attempting to utilize the exclude from option in my rsync configuration file (rather than maintain lists on users machines) but it does not appear to be working.
One example, I placed *.mp3 in the file to keep them from syncing mp3 files to the server and jamming up space. But rsync just seems to ignore this and syncs the files anyway without any errors to the syslog. All of my configurations are in /etc Here is rsyncd.conf pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid max connections = 2 use chroot = yes motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /arch1/sync/rsync.log [test] path = /arch1/sync/paul list = false read only = false uid = 900 gid = 900 exclude from = /etc/rsyncd.excludes auth users = paul secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets hosts allow = 192.168.10.10 --------------------- And file permissions -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 355 Apr 26 11:21 /etc/rsyncd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344 Apr 26 10:20 /etc/rsyncd.excludes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 242 Apr 26 10:36 /etc/rsyncd.motd -rw------- 1 root root 14 Apr 26 10:34 /etc/rsyncd.secrets I've looked around the web and archives for an answer, so now I turn to you. Any suggestions are welcome. -- Paul Slinski System Administrator Global IQX http://www.globaliqx.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
