Preserving Permissions using server
Hi!:) - try using the sudo command as a prefix to all of that. I know that if I didn't do that it would default to nobody.nobody when I copied. -Tito > > Hi All, >I recently installed Rsync to perform backup features - this > includes backing up a /home dir and keeping ownerships/permissions > intact is obviously very important > > However when I perform. > (current working path is /home) > rsync -azv --progress --stats * [EMAIL PROTECTED]::tmp/home > > and on the server side of things...

Re: rsync digest, Vol 1 #797 - 4 msgs
If it's anything like the rooms I saw last year...some rooms have
"wardrobes" meaning that you have a unit with a shelf, a "closet" cabinet
type thing, and about 5 drawers. If you have lots of clothes, bring extra
storage containers because thos drawers can't really hold much. Or don't
bring so many clothes:)
I think some of the two room doubles have huge-ass floor to ceiling
wardrobes with cabinets and shelves and a medicine cabinet. But I'm not
sure. It's best to pack the essentials first, and then have your parents
ship and/or buy what you need when you get here. Or you could just haul it
all cross country:)

Sorry about that-New way to run Rsync on OSX
Whoops, I apologize for the off topic e-nail. I meant to write a reply but I mixed up my messages to the various listservers I'm subscribed to. I'll remember to check my address next time. I've found a new way to run Rsync, it works pretty well, and involves a disk image mounted on a server that's created with Disk Copy. It serves our purpose pretty well for what we're doing here at the University. I'll post documentation once I can get it out. Thanks to everyone for their time and patience in answering my questions, it really helped:) -Tito --- To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us.

Rsync/FreeBSD/Macintosh Files...
Macs are supported using Rsync..you need to have version 2.5.5, it's distributed with RsyncX. You can grab a copy at http://www.macosxlabs.org/ I've found it useful to copy from a local harddrive to another local hard drive, but I haven't gotten it to work successfully to do a full system reinstall over the netwrok. It does preserve resource forks and all that stuff. If you're not sure what versyion you have just type "rsync --version" without the quotes and you'll see something that should say Rsync 2.5.5 HFS+ support by Kevin A. Boyd and list the creators of the original software. This version will support resource forks. -Tito > > --__--__-- > > Message: 2 > From: "brad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RSYNC/FreeBSD/Macintosh files... > Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2002 10:41:03 -0500 > > recently found out that rsync does not preserve resource forks, or creator > types and maybe some other things.

Re: Rsync and Resource File Stripping on Mac OS X: Partially Successful
I'm running Mac OS 10.1.5 and Rsync verison 2.5.5 Protocol Version 26 on both machines. They were built from the same image using rsync copying from a removable firewire drive. I connected the firewire drive that I used to make both the startup images for the two computers I'm attempting to download to. I've found that the files will copy the permissions correctly if the target and host are logged in as root, but the drive will not boot. I've wiped the drive with Disk Utility before attempting the install and am running OSX from another partition of the hard drive. According to rsync there should be no problem. I'm pushing from the host to the target using a secure shell connection from the client to the host machine. -Tito --- To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us.

Rsync and Resource File Stripping on Mac OS X: Partially Successful
Well, I finagled a system up that works with Mac OS X and Rsync, I configured it in teh following steps: SSH Authentication key logs in without a password to the host machine jarmusch. >From the client machine, Cage, using the command ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED](IP address concealed to protect the innocent.) I get [jarmusch:~] Now that I'm logged into Jarmusch, I execute the following command [jarmusch:~]sudo rsync -aovve /usr/bin/ssh --progress /Volumes/PocketDrive19500/Backup/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Volumes/Cage/ It then goes through and transfers all the files, but doesn't use HFS+ support and strips the resource forks from the file. I should see files coyping that end in .rsrc but none ever do. If anyone knows of a workaround for this, I would appreciate it greatly. I get rsync to work locally without stripping the resource forks..I'm using 2.5.5, the version included with RsyncX -Tito --- To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us.

Rsync Daemon Problems on Mac OS 10.1.5
Dave- I've got the rsync daemon running as root, (setgroups() man page said that if setgroups wasn't called as root it would give an error message) and I've configured the ports correctly a la man page. I still get the error with setgroups. If it's a recently implemented security feature could I yank that section out of the code and recompile it again? I haven't had a chance to really delve into the code and fink around with it, honestly I've been trying to avoid that:) The --daemon feature is the only thing that's giving me trouble. I've gotten it to copy locally from source to source and at least start copying across a network(although it wasn't very successful in terms of copying..it couldn't "find" a lot of files/folders that were there) So unless nobody has gotten the --daemon function working, I guess it's time to go code diving. -Tito To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us.

Re: rsync digest, Vol 1 #778 - 11 msgs
I haven't gotten it to work successfully, I'm still struggling with the same setgroups error that you are. However, I can tell you what I have tried. So far I have rsync configured to run in --daemon mode using the command: sudo rsync --daemon I can prompt it for a list of modules, but when I go to copy a module, I get the error @ERROR: setgroups failed. I can copy locally, from one HD to another, but I can't get it to copy over the network, even using the sudo rsync ipaddress:/Filename / method. So it's been kind of aggrivating. I'm thinking it has to do with the fact that rsync needs to be run locally, and you're running it from a remote server... If there's a way to trick the system into thinking that the rsync daemon is running as root on the local machine, that would be ideal. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the UNIX side of things to get that far. -Tito > Message: 5 > Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 10:08:00 -0600 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: rsync 2.5.5 and Mac OS X > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Greetings, > > Has anyone successfully compiled rsync 2.5.5 under Mac OS X (not > Server), and actually have it work fully? > > I'm in a position where I'm trying to setup an automated nightly remote > backup between and Cobalt Raq4 (running a variant of Redhat Linux) and a > Mac running OS X 10.1.5 with the latest development tools installed.

setgroups error in Rsync: Configuration or Missing Part?
I've been trying to get my two Mac OS X computers to sync using rsync 2.5.5. I have one set up as the host with --daemon and the other with a client running. I was encountering an @ERROR: chroot failed error in my messages. I found that the problem lied in a misconfiguration of the rsyncd.conf file. I had tried to specify a POSIX pathway using the quoted foward-slash method. Once I got past that, the next error was @ERROR: setgroups failed. However, unlike chroot, I don't have this program on my system. I've looked on the 'net, and only found setgroups defined as a c function setgroups() which seemed to be part of the rsync raw source code. Is this an error in the rsync program or am I missing an external program? Where can I download this program/complete source code for this program? -Tito -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
