I get a message says; Could not start Rsync Server service on the Local Computer The service did not return and error. There could be an internal windows error or internal service error. If the problem persists contact your system administrator I have treid to turn the firewall off and I have also tried it with no anti-virus software running. I googled and fond lots of people have the same issue but no solution. Can anybody shed the light on it please.

cwRsync on windows
Hi folks, It may be a very basic question for many people here but I have been struggling with Windows commandline. My CentOS machines are running perfectly fine. Question: I have installed cwRsync server on one of Windows 2003 and cwRsync client on the other Windows 2003. What command should I run to connect to the cwRsync server from the client? and how can I make sure that cwRsync is even running. I have checked the services I could not find. I also ran the netsat in windows to see what ports cwRsync is listening to. Or can anybody direct me to a good tutorial on cwRsync. Thanks in advance -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

files permission and hidden files are not rsync properly
Hi folks, I have recently installed rsync.2.6.9. on CentOS4.x boxes. That was my first backup yesterday. But I notice that some hidden (or dot files) are not copied to the other host on the network. And group and ownership of the files are changed to “nobody” while files and folders permission are copied properly. So what am mission here can anybody shed light please?

In the future and if you need more help on this issue than the below, please send the exact rsync command you used! But I notice that some hidden (or dot files) are not copied to the other host on the network. Rsync said skipping non-regular file. That means the files aren't regular and you haven't passed the option to tell rsync to copy files of that type. What are those files? Symlinks? If so, then pass -l. And group and ownership of the files are changed to nobody while files and folders permission are copied properly. So what am mission here can anybody shed light please? By default, rsync preserves owners and groups by name if possible or otherwise by number. That means if the destination machine lacks a vpopmail user and a vchkpw group, rsync sets the same numerical IDs on the destination as on the source. If those IDs represent nobody and nobody on the destination, the files get that ownership. Creating vpopmail and vchkpw on the destination machine should fix the problem. Matt Hi Matt, Thank you for response. In the future and if you need more help on this issue than the below, please send the exact rsync command you used! Here is the command that I ran from the destinition machine which is also running the rsync daemon or the rsync server; [EMAIL PROTECTED] admin]# rsync --verbose --progress --stats --recursive /home/vpopmail/ 192.167.1.61::email_backup/ they are not symlinks as log mentioned they are hidden files (or dot files), so is there any thing specific that I have to add in the command to copy those as well? By default, rsync preserves owners and groups by name if possible or otherwise by number.

If those IDs represent nobody and nobody on the destination, the files get that ownership. Creating vpopmail and vchkpw on the destination machine should fix the problem. The destination machine is actually the mirror of the source so both mochines are identical and both vpopmail user and vchkpw group do exist on the destinition. here is the evidence of vpopmail and vchpkw on the destinition; [EMAIL PROTECTED] admin]# cat /etc/group | grep vchk* vchkpw:x:89: [EMAIL PROTECTED] admin]# cat /etc/passwd | grep vpopmail vpopmail:x:89:89::/home/vpopmail:/bin/bash Thanks in advance. ak -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
rsyncd.conf
Hi, I have installed rsync on CentOS4, Installation went through ok and I tested it as well by copying a folder to mounted tap backup drive. But now I need to run rsync as daemon(server), trying to find /etc/rsyncd.conf file but there is no rsyncd.conf file exists under /etc directory. Having read online I found out that /etc/rsyncd.conf file needs to be manually created. Is there any sample rsyncd.conf file exisit? Can anybody guide me in the right direction.
