Hi there I am wanting to call sshfs (auth via DSA keys) via a rsync pre-xfer bash script, and cannot get something right. If I run it from the cmdline line:
env - sshfs [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/share /dir/path -o -o IdentityFile=/tmp/id_dsa it mounts it just fine. (note the "env -" - I specifically tested with no environment to try to make the two situations identical). If I put that sole line into a "/tmp/test" shell script and run it from the commandline, or from a cronjob, it also works fine. However, calling "/tmp/test" from an rsync-triggered pre-xfer script (both as root) doesn't work. sshfs reports read: Connection reset by peer The remote ssh server shows the successful connection - it shows "subsystem request for sftp" followed immediately by "session closed for user usern" So it appears that it isn't an SSH authentication problem - but something else. This is on a FC5 box - but I have disabled SELinux, and have tried with iptables disabled on both ends too. Running sshfs with "-o debug -o sshfs_debug" doesn't really show anything odd. Obviously it works fine from the cmdline, but from the rsync script ends with "Connection reset by peer" just as before - with no good reason why. I even straced it without much to show. But I do wonder about file descriptors. Any ideas where I should look next? FC5, rsync-2.6.9, fuse-2.5.3-5.fc5, fuse-sshfs-1.7-1.fc5 PS: I have worked around it by getting the rsync xfre script to throw the sshfs mount command out as an "at now" script. That works fine - it's only when called directly that it fails... -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
