Re: rsync Digest, Vol 107, Issue 24

[Tevfik Karagulle]

Hi,

Some explanations regarding cwRsync:

cwRync installers (both client and server) are now available as a paid
download bundle. Installer sources, however, are still available as free
upon contact.

Please keep in mind that installer sources are not enough to build cwRsync
installers: You need to build up a complete Cygwin environment,
compile/copy binaries in the package. It may be time consuming. That's why
paying a reasonable price for the installer itself can be an alternative as
well.

NB! I have notified Rsync website before changes are made.

Best regards
Tev

 Itefix.no decided we want money for coding and support - that itself is

 But they killed their sourceforge downloads, all, including past versions

 That seems pretty antisocial of them.

 They have a Download source link for 4.2.0 on their site (
 http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/**10650 http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650),

 ... though I'm not sure it's what it says it is.


 They also don't seem to understand the implications of licensing something
 under the GPL.  (That page claims cwRsync is GPL-licensed.) They can't
 prevent the source code from being distributed, if that's the case.  So,
 the worst case without legal action is that one person buys a copy of
 cwRsync, then publishes the source code (which is permissible according to
 the GPL):

 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/**quick-guide-gplv3.htmlhttp://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

 In a better case, if anyone has the source code already, feel free to
 publish it.  That's how the GPL works.  So does BSD-licensing, actually. If
 you have the source code, you're free to redistribute it (with the
 restriction that the redistribution retains the same licensing terms and
 copyright information).


  The 4.2.0 client is still available on www.chip.de, but the server has
 no alternative DL. We still have the filesize and the MD5 sum of
 sourceforge.

 I'd vote for updating the download page http://rsync.samba.org/**
 download.html http://rsync.samba.org/download.html.

 Apart from that: Anybody got lucky on cwRsyncServer_4.2.0_Installer.**zip

 Sorry, no luck.  I also tried to see whether it still appeared under any

 Interesting.  They are allowed to do what they want with the binaries, but
 the sources are another issue.  As I read the GPL, they must continue to
 provide access to the sources for at least three years after the binary
 was last distributed.

 In addition, they must provide access to the actual sources used to build
 the binaries.  For example, if itefix modified any of the rsync sources
 used to build the binaries, it's not sufficient to provide a link to the
 rsync sources at samba.org.

 Hi

 I'd like to rsync a large amount of data over a slow connection,
 but only during night hours. I couldn't find a parameter that limits
 the time that rsync is running, only the timeout on idle time.
 I guess the way to go would be to start rsync, get the process
 ID and kill the process later on.

 Has anybody already written a bash script that would do something
 like that? Are there other ways? I don't want to kill all rsync
 processes as there might be other syncs going on.

 Thanks

RE: how to backup/restore of windows file attributes

[Tevfik Karagülle]

You may be interested  in the cwRsync FAQ http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/11313
about using RoboCopy for transferring windows file attributes/permissions:


Can rsync transfer security/ownership information between two windows
machines ?

cwRsync alone has limited support since it runs on cygwin posix emulation
layer. However, after an rsync operation, you can use Robocopy XP010 from
Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit, to transfer all windows specific file
information (NTFS security, timestamps, attributes, ownership, auditing
info):


ROBOCOPY source destination /XO /XN /XC /E /COPY:ATSOU

 

options /XO (exclude older), /XN (exclude newer) and /XC (exclude changed)
assure that only existing files are targeted. Option /E is for recursive
directory operation including empty ones. Option /COPY:ATSOU instructs
Robocopy to copy only attributes (A), timestamps (T), NTFS security
information (S), Ownership O) and auditing (U).

 No, the problem is that you don't have any ssh program on 
 your windows system, and you've instructed rsync to do the 
 transfer over ssh (no -e option thus default ssh, and a 
 single colon thus not a connection to an rsync daemon).
 
 If you configure the Debian system to run rsync as a daemon 
 (create an appropriate /etc/rsyncd.conf file, see 
 /usr/share/doc/rsync/* and edit /etc/default/rsync and do 
 /etc/init.d/rsync start), then you should be able to transfer thusly:

  That's what has been suggested by Tevfik Karagülle, but 
 it's ugly as 
  it cannot be written in a portable way. (One would have to ask for 
  rsync version first and then fiddle with options.)
 
 Passing RSYNC_ICONV=- in the environment is portable; it will 
 suppress cwRsync 3.0.0's default iconv option without 
 upsetting other versions of rsync.
 
  Someone else has suggested me to use
rsync --protocol=29
  but I need to test it.
 
 I tested it and it actually doesn't solve the problem.
 
4. Build your own Cygwin rsync (which will have no iconv 
 setting by
default) and use that instead of cwRsync 3.0.0.
  
  I don't have the slightest idea how to do that (I have 
 tried to build 
  other programs on windows, but hacking make files is not my 
 strength).
 
 No makefile hacking should be necessary.  If you were to 
 build your own rsync, it should just involve installing 
 Cygwin (including the necessary compilation tools) using 
 http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe , downloading and extracting 
 the source tarball, and running ./configure  make .
 
  5. Ask the author of cwRsync to do suggestion number 4 (so that 
  cwrsync would not fail on most servers).
  
  That would be the ideal scenario from what I have heard or 
 learnt in 
  this thread. If I build cwrsyc for me only, that wil serve noone 
  except me.
 
 Yes, it would be best if Tev changed cwRsync officially, but 
 I think it's worth knowing how to build your own Cygwin rsync 
 anyway in case you want to test or use patched versions in the future.

 Yes, it's finally that time -- rsync 3.0.0 has been released. 
  This is a feature release that also includes quite a few bug fixes.
 
 I'd like thank everyone who participated in the development 
 and testing of rsync.  I hope that you enjoy this latest version!
 
 The 3.0.0 version number is such a large bump up from 2.6.9 
 due to the addition of an incremental recursion scan (which 
 helps a lot with large
 transfers) and the official arrival of several other new 
 features, including ACL support, extended attribute support, 
 filename character- set conversion, etc.

 I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre10.  I incorporated the 
 latest daemon security fixes, and decided to include a few 
 more minor bug fixes as well. If all goes well, this should 
 be released as 3.0.0 final sometime next week.

 The following changes were made since pre9 was released:
 
  - Added the daemon option numeric ids to make writable 
 rsync daemons
safer by default.
 
  - Added a way to specify an inner-chroot path for an rsync daemon.
This can make some operations safer (e.g. dynamic library loading).
 
  - Added the charset daemon option that allows a client to use the
--iconv option w/o the daemon needing any iconv libraries 
 in a chroot
area.
 
  - We properly itemize the 't' (time) difference for symlinks if the
receiver can set the modification time on a symlink.
 
  - Fixed a bug with the itemized output for 'p' (perms).
 
  - Got rid of some duplicated extra-verbose messages for certain
directory operations.
 
  - Padded the *deleting itemized output for better alignment.
 
  - A daemon no longer logs files as received if the transfer was run
with --only-write-batch.

 I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre7, the latest pre-release 
 version of the upcoming 3.0.0 release.
 
 This release contains fixed exclude checks for a use chroot = no
 daemon that has excludes listed in the config file.  This is 
 a partial fix for the 2nd advisory that was released 
 recently.  See the rsync security web page for the updated 
 details and a patch for 2.6.9:
 
 http://rsync.samba.org/security.html
 
 Thanks for all the testing!  We're making good progress to 
 get this released in the weeks ahead.  Please send email to 
 the rsync mailing list with your questions, comments, bug 
 reports, etc.

 The patches directory was released in a separate tar file for 
 this release.  I'm still considering if this is the best 
 choice or not, so feel free to comment:

 The following changes were made since pre6 was released:
 
  - The aforementioned daemon-exclude fixes.
 
  - The release script now gets the timestamps on the 
 generated autoconf
files right so that make doesn't try to rebuild them.
 
  - Fixed a bug in the --progress output where the to-check count would
sometimes go negative.
 
  - Fixed a glitch in an internal directory counter on the sending side
that could cause rsync to crash.
 
  - Avoid an assert problem if --hard-links was used in list-only mode.
 
  - Check alternate-basis-dir options (--*-dest) and warn 
 about problems.
 
  - Fixed a potential (but unlikely) memory leak in make_file().
 
  - Silenced some compiler warnings.

 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

 Individual file names in NTFS are limited to 255 characters;

 This filename is a mere 191 long
 Path is a lot less than 32,767... :-)
 
 So how come it is an OS error when Rsync tries to copy it?

  That depends on your operating system.
 
  Windows generally objects to files being opened more than once; 
  linux/unix systems won't have a problem.
 
 Unfortunatily they are windows systems. The broadcast 
 software we use only comes in that flavor otherwise they would be nix.
 
 So when windows objects to an open file being sync'd will 
 rsync simply skip it and keep going? Or will it bail out of 
 the sync? I can stand missing an open file since the sync 
 runs every hour.

RE: File Locking under Windows - a solution ?

[Tevfik Karagülle]

What about using some staging logic if you have enough disk space and can
introduce the logic required into your system :

1. Keep two copies of your files on your live servers: FEED-A and FEED-B

2. Initialization

a. rsync FEED-A and FEED-B with the preview server content
b. Select FEED-A as the current feed for live servers

3. Go live with the active feed.

4. When update is needed

a. Rsync the contents of the inactive feed (FEED-B for the first time)
with the preview server
b. Select FEED-B as the current feed, making FEED-A (for the first time)
inactive and ready for update in the next cycling

5. Repeat stage 3-4 :-)


Rgrds Tev

http://itefix.no/cwrysnc

---
- 

We are currently using Rsync (with cygwin) to propagate static files from a
preview server (Windows) to our live servers (Windows) on demand.

Unfortunately, because the live servers are *live*, inevitably some of the
files we mean to update are in use and therefore locked by the windows
filesystem. Since they are locked, they are not updated, and our servers get
out of synch.

 

Does anyone know of a way this locking can be overridden ? – is it possible
to ‘force’ updates ? it is important that all live servers have identical
filesystems.

There is an option to bring down each server, update the relevant
directories, and bring the server back up: but this is highly undesirable.
Updates are daily at least, and sometimes may occur half-a-dozen times a
day.

RE: Invalid File Index error

cwRsync version 2.0.8 usesnewer versions of cygwin 
(1.5.20) and openssl (0.9.8b). Problems might be related to them as well. There 
is also a new cygwin version 1.5.21 out there now. I recommend to check if

  Since upgrading

  rsync. We have about 100 servers using the client to a central backup 
  server and the issue is repeatable on the servers having the problem. 
  About 10 of the servers are having the problem. The error reported by 
  rsync is:

  The number following the “index: “ 
  and count= values are different by machine. They occur consistently in 
  the same place on each machine, for example, following a particular file 
  backup. Using the –vvv option only shows the file before the error 
  finishing and then the same error (no new logging 
  information).
  
  The build was created by Tev at http://www.itefix.no and I’ve also posted

rsync@lists.samba.orgSubject: Invalid File Index 
error
Since 
upgrading to 2.6.8 with the tag 3 patch, I’ve been consistently getting an 
error using rsync. We have about 100 servers using the client to a 
central backup server and the issue is repeatable on the servers having the 
problem. About 10 of the servers are having the problem. The 
error reported by rsync is:

Invalid file index: 
-1019607330 (count=8353) [sender]
rsync error: protocol 
incompatibility (code 2) at sender.c(169) 
[sender]

The number following the “index: 
“ and count= values are different by machine. They occur consistently 
in the same place on each machine, for example, following a particular file 
backup. Using the –vvv option only shows the file before the error 
finishing and then the same error (no new logging 
information).

The build was created by Tev at 
http://www.itefix.no and I’ve also 
posted this to his forum. I was wondering if anyone else was 
experiencing the problem.

RE: rsync and chmoding permissions on Windows

The last version of cwRsync contains rsync binaries with acl support. May be

 Subject: rsync and chmoding permissions on Windows
 
 I'm trying to use rsync to keep the permissions between two 
 Windows servers.
 
 A windows NT 4 server (with rsync daemon) and windows 2003 R2
 
 I use Rsync in a batch file and I run it as Administrator by 
 double clicking on it.
 
 Typically:
 
 set cygwin=notnsec
 rsync -rpDPo --chmod=Du+rwx,Fu+rwx,+X 
 
 and the files are crossed over but the permissions are screwed up.
 
 Now, I can't find out the exact syntax for the Rsync --chmod= command.
 Documents for using it on Windows are not good.
 
 Normal 'chmod' I know. 
 
 the D and F refer to the directory or file? But what is the +X doing?
 
 Google can't search for 'chmod=' so I'm stumped.
 
 The permissions I'm getting set is that the directory I've 
 copied has Administrator ACLs set to  'special permissions' 
 and not full control!
 
 Can some kind person put me out of my misery.

  We were trying to introduce a better client side log format so that

  there is even a sentence saying that this format would not interfere with the 
  rsybc daemons format. We are using cwrsync and when we try and add 
  --log-format="%o %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l" The log messages return the 
  string.h [m f lwe have tried various combinations of quotes to no 
  avail. 1) Is using the log format possible on the client side in 
  cwrsync?2) if so what is the proper escape pattern to use. This

  client to daemon over ssh tunnel connection issues
  Yes this is another connection reset issue but all I am asking is 
  some pointers on how I can possibly determine what and why this is 
  happening. Its easy to say its a network issue but the bosses and 
  clients want to know how to fix this said "network issue." I have read 
  the rsync issues list. Some of what is suggested we might try HOWEVER we 
  cannot duplicate the errors that occur and those tactics seem driven towards 
  reproducable errors. It is not consistent, sometimes the rsync transfer 
  works flawlesly sometimes if we wipe the server module clean and restart it 
  will fail. We wipe and restart it will fail somewhere else down the line 
  and then it might work all the way through. I would put the strace on it 
  if we could recreate the error. I did come upon an rsync hang 2 days ago 
  where the client had aborted but the server still had rsync running and I 
  believe the server side of the sshd tunnel running. I installed strace 
  (Centos did not have it by default). The ssh process terminated but the 
  rsync was still going. So I ran strace and it was in a select 
  call. This tells me that something happened between the endpoints of the 
  ssh tunnel for this issue. Hwat follows are different issues. 
  Client: Windows XP running CWRsync 2.6.8. We are creating

 Well I'm using neither Samba nor Cygwin but cwRsync.  The

RE: Backup Windows to Linux with ACL

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi,

My apologies for not to include the man page in the zip file. I will fix it
very soon. In the meantime:

-- From updated rsync man page -

-A, --acls
This option causes rsync to update the destination ACLs to be the same as
the source ACLs. This nonstandard option only works if the remote rsync also
supports it. --acls implies --perms. Note also that an optimization of the
ACL-sending protocol used by this version makes it incompatible with sending
files to an older ACL-enabled rsync unless you double the --acls option
(e.g. -AA). This doubling is not needed when pulling files from an older
rsync.  

-

Two conditions must be met to see the results:

1. You should have an acl-patch enabled rsync at linux side.
2. Doubled -A is required if your acl-enabled linux rsync has an older
protocol.

Rsync acl patch 1.113 compilation problems on cygwin

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi,

Recently, there have been some fundamental achievements regarding
acl-support on the cygwin platform. I thought that it would be convenient to
offer an acl-patch enabled rsync as a part of the cwrsync package (a yet
another minimalist rsync on cygwin solution). I get some compilation errors.


What I did:

- Downloaded acl patch v1.113 from rsync site

- Run commands below In the rsync source directory:

 # make clean
 # patch  patches/acls_diff_1_113.txt
 # ./prepare-source
 # ./configure --enable-acl-support

   
checking whether to support ACLs... Using solaris ACLs

I use gcc 3.4.4. 

Any ideas what I'm missing here ?

older ACL-enabled rsync unless you double the --acls.  This doubling is not
needed when pulling files from an older rsync.

I have made an rsync-2.6.7/cygwin -1.5.19-4 executable containing the
version 1.113 of the patch. It is called rsyncacl.exe and can be used for
enhancing both full blown cygwin and cwrsync installations. 

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce the updated man page (I don't have
yodl2man in my environment, help?)

Rsyncacl.exe can be downloaded from

RE: Help understanding rsync and cwrsync

[Tevfik Karagülle]

 Hi all,  we are just beginning to dive into rsync. I have 
 limited experience with just playing around with the examples 
 and reading all the docs that I can.  I just read an 
 interesting post from a developer that mentions cwrsync is a 
 minimalistic rsync and thus things like permissions are not 
 transfered, the post was from 2004.  Here are my questions


I called cwrsync as minimalistic because it offers rsync functionality on 
cygwin only. A full-blown
cygwin gives you an almost complete linux-like working environment. In all 
other aspects, cwrsync is
same as rsync on cygwin. That applies also to issues around permissions.

 1)  Should we abandon cwrsync for cygwin + rsync?  Have the 
 disparities between the two versions been resolved?

There are no disparities. Cwrsync and cygwin+rsync have the same behaviour, 
same executables and
same dlls.

 
 2)  What are the risks with using cwrsync (we want a limited footprint on the 
 client)?

Rsync itself is a well-proven solution and is actively maintained. Cwrsync 
package has a very small
footprint in comparison to the full cygwin and that reduces your vulnerability 
surface.

- 
 
 3)  Assuming we use straight cygwin + rsync how does the 
 linux rsync server handle the permissions and ACL's of an 
 NTFS files system?  Are they restorable back to a windows 
 machine?  The linux server won't have any of the users plus 
 the ACLS stuff is totally different that unix.

I don't think that rsync on cygwin can be too much of help to address 
ACL-issues between unix and
windows machines. You should experiment with following scenarios to find out 
what is actually
possible to achieve:

1. Use rsync options -g -o -p (preserve group,ownership and permissions)

2a. Start rsync on windows after having 'CYGWIN=ntsec' set. That allows cygwin 
to map linux
permissions to windows ones. NB! Try this in a test environment. You may end 
with a filesystem with
permissions somewhat different than what you expect.

2b. Use 'CYGWIN=nontsec' instead. That's the recommended way for cwrsync users. 
No mapping occurs.
Cwrsync package has a batch file example for it.

Best regards

RE: cwrsync server 2.0.4 / winxp / ownership problems?

[Tevfik Karagülle]

It is possible to instruct cygwin not to reflect permission changes to windows' 
file system. This
can be done by specifying CYGWIN=nontsec. 
In this case, all permission related changes ordered by rsync will be 
discarded. Rsync daemon
implemented by cwrsync server uses cygwin=notnsec by default.

Cwrsync is simply a minimal  'rsync on cygwin'  environment packaged into an 
installer. Rsync
executable in cwrsync is compiled by using the last available rsync source 
(2.6.6 at the moment). If
you are only interested in rsync, cwrsync can be a solution for you. Otherwise, 
I recommend to
install a full-blown cygwin which offers much more than rsync.

RE: cwrsync server 2.0.4 / winxp / ownership problems?

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi Erik,

Since cwrsync contains some windows-specific arrangements not directly related 
to rsync itself, I've
established a cwrsync discussion forum half a year ago. It is available at
http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php?module=phpwsbbPHPWSBB_MAN_OP=viewforumPHPWS_MAN_ITEMS=1
 . You
may consider to post your problem at this forum as well.

Back to your problem: By default, cwrsync is configured to not to map unix 
permissions to windows
equivalents (env.variable CYGWIN=nontsec). In other words, what you set as 
windows permissions on
your directories will not be disturbed by cwrsync. If you want to give your 
admins write permissions
on /stuff/windows, you may simply run the command below only once:

Xcacls windows directory behind module crystal_windows /T /E /G 
Administrators:F

 Subject: cwrsync server 2.0.4 / winxp / ownership problems?
 
 Hi all!
 
 We're using cwrsync server 2.0.4 on winxp to keep files up to 
 date between some operator machines.
 
 Whenever I run rsync to send files to another machine, the 
 read-only flag gets set.  The cwrsync user was created (the 
 install is completely standard)... so I'm thinking it might 
 have something to do with that.
 
 Here's my rsyncd.conf:
 
 use chroot = false
 strict modes = false
 hosts allow = *
 log file = rsyncd.log
 pid file = rsyncd.pid
 
 [crystal_windows]
 path=/stuff/windows
 read only=false
 comment=some stuff
 
 When I run the following command from my laptop:
 rsync -vzrLpogtu /stuff/windows/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]::crystal_windows
 
 It sets *ALL* the files in the /stuff/windows folder on the 
 remote machine to read-only.
 
 This is a big problem because it means that when an operator 
 goes to edit a file in the windows folder with a program, he 
 has to first make the file not read only.
 
 Is it possible to change the cwrsync configuration so that it 
 runs as the same user that the operator logs in as?  I'm 
 thinking that for some reason windows is getting confused and 
 setting the ownership to the cwrsync user and that's why the 
 operator user sees the file as read-only.  Because the 
 operator is an administrator, the read-only can be turned 
 off, but every time rsync touches the folder it seems to 
 reset all the permissions settings.
 
 Thanks in advance!

RE: Update: Re: Help with synchronizing two directories on remoteservers

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Can you simply run -netstat- on your PCs and check if you can see something 
listening on port 22 ?

It may also be helpful if you can be more specific about what platforms you 
experience that problem.


Maybe your ssh daemon is being activated via tcp-wrappers and there is 
something blocking between ?

RE: Inheriting security permissions from target directory withCygwin

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi,

Try to use ssh-tunnelling and rsync daemon, instead of built-in ssh support
in rsync. 

OpenSSH on cygwin must have CYGWIN=ntsec to make things work. This is
inherited by built-in rsync ssh  on server side. It results with unwanted
adjustment of your files' permissions. When you use rsync daemon, it is
possible to specify CYGWIN=nontsec during initialization (cygrunsrv). You
can then establish an ssh tunnel to send rsync requests to this daemon.

What is strange is some files and directories copy with no problem at 
all. I am trying to decide if the problem is on the server (rsync) or 
client side.

The client is a windows machine (server 2000). I verifide that 
the "active user" has full permissions to the file that are going to be 
xferred.

On the server-- I am running rsync as the user rsync and on the 
directory I am uploading to the group rsync has rwx rights.

I have realized I am running and older version and am currently 
upgrading to the latest.

So what causes sporadic failures on uploadsalso it seems as if 
rsync (client) eventually hangs. If i restart rsyncd and sshd on the 
server it releases itself from the server and issues clear up. I have 
been able to successfully sync small directories. I noticed one of the 
dir's has an " ' " in it...will this cause a problem. Do windows files 
/ dir names need to be modifed before copying up to rsync server.

As usual- TIA :) Hopefully I'll be able to 
answer some of these in the near future.

 Subject: SSH Tunnel Problem
 
 I have set up an Rsync server on FreeBSD 5.3 and plan on 
 having windows clients synchronize data to it.
 
 Rsync running as a daemon works fine.  I can successfully  
 copy data up to the server and view it via scp.
 
 Also-  I can connect via ssh and run rsync as well.
 
 HOWEVER-  I cannot connect passwordless with SSH and then 
 connect to the rsync daemon.  The following demonstartes what 
 I would like to do:
 
 rsync -av -e ssh -l myusername
 /cygdrive/pathtolocaldata
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]::modulename --password-file filename
 
 When I run the above I successfully authenticate with SSH but 
 then I get an error that the rsyncd.conf cannot be read.  
 Permissions on the rsyncd.conf file are
 
 root:wheel -rw-r--
 
 I have tried chown to rsync:rync the user the daemon runs 
 under as specified in my conf file.
 
 
 I would like the have the granularity of using rsyncd.conf.
 
 I was somewhat content with just using ssh but ssh wants to 
 change the permissions on the upload directory  where others 
 can rwx.  I tried changing the umask but apparently it is 
 ignored when making an ssh connection.
 
 In addition-  the local accounts on the server are setup for 
 scponly.  
 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have been googling 
 and experimenting for over two weeks.  I believe everything 
 is proper... :(

  This is because the option only affects rsync's use of an rsync daemon.
  Rsync has no options that affect ssh's password prompting.  You should
  get ssh working as needed without rsync being involved (perhaps running
  a simple command such as uptime) and then use that technique with
  rsync.  However, if you've ruled out ssh keys, your only other choice
  may be some kind of host-based authentication.  See the ssh docs for
  details.

 Use keychain to manage an ssh-agent with a key store.
 You only have to put in the password once per session
 that way.  Or leave the key store without a password
 if you dare...
 
   http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/index.xml
 
 It sets environment variables to connect with a
 named pipe for ssh-agent.  With authentication
 chaining, you can run remote commands that pass
 authentication back to your login computer.
 Just put the public part of your key into
 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on all of the machines
 you want to use.

Re: User NONE using rsync in Windows server

[tevfik]

Hi,

Probably you don't have environment variable CYGWIN=nontsec defined
somewhere in your system. By default, cygwin TRIES to map unix permissions
to windows acls and updates permissions accordingly. This may work and
make sense to some extent, if you have a full-blown cygwin environment and
always use it. Mostly this is not the case.

I recommend to use CYGWIN=nontsec when running rsync, to make sure that
cygwin does not disturb your windows permissions.

See http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php?module=faqFAQ_op=viewFAQ_id=12
for more info.

 Hi,
 I'm using rsync with cygwin to synchronize two windows servers. I've got
 files in server side with full permisions to Administrator user, but when
 i synchronize it with another windows server, the file placed in client
 side has a new group called NONE with read , write and execute permisions.
 I'm using the following line to call rsync:

 rsync -zvvvr   --perms --owner --group --progress --delete --size-only
 --owner [EMAIL PROTECTED]::test_synchro C:\test

 And this configuration in server side:

 use chroot = false
 strict modes = false
 hosts allow = *
 log file = rsyncd.log
 pid file = rsyncd.pid

 # Module definitions
 # Make sure that writable modules are implemented as subdirectories of
 cwRsync installation
 # directory\data. That would ensure propagation of correct ownership for
 files/directories.
 #


 [test_synchro]
 path = D:\test
 read only = false
 transfer logging = yes
 comment = test to mayas01 from picture (wwwroot\PICTURES)



 Does anyone know how i might fix this error?

SV: SSH and rsync server

[Tevfik Karagulle]

Hi,

 So, if you want to encrypt the traffic to an existing rsync daemon,
you'll need to use ssh (or maybe stunnel) to forward a local socket
address to the remote machine (which allows you to tell rsync to connect
to the local machine and have that connection get forwarded to the
remote machine via the secure tunnel) -- see the ssh docs for how to use
ssh to do that.

See cwrsync FAQ How can I secure connections between rsync clients and
cwRsync servers ?
for an ssh-tunneling example for rsync.

 Yes I´m using cwrync 1.2.4 that it contains the 2.6.2 rsync version
 command.

 A problem I have to use cygwin is that I have implemented the cwrsync
 command in a script .js (jscript) then... Should I make a new script bash
 file  for linux? or is it possible call cygwin´s rsync from a DOS shell
 line
 command?

 Thank you very much :)

Updated both ends with the rsync.exe from cwrsync
Same thing:

 io timeout after 23 seconds - exiting
rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(143)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (72412 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342)


That number 72412 is the same as before and its always the same number
whatever the problem file it reaches
Is that the size of some buffer in rsync or something?


Carried out some tests and rsync doesn't hang if the client is sending
files, only if it is receiving..

  Subject: Re: rsync hanging on Cygwin
  
  Slight clarification:
  
  When I said latest version of rsync, I did NOT mean the latest 
  binary packaged with cygwin, I meant the latest source 
 version, which 
  you can compile yourself under cygwin (if you've installed 
 gcc, ming, 
  and make) or you can use the pre-compiled binaries now available at 
  cwrsync's site.
  
   I'm trying to use rsync under Cygwin on 2 machines 
 running Windows 
   2000 Server There's a 2MB link between them and I'm using 
 SSH setup 
   for a passwordless connection

   rsync hangs part way through transfers and when run again
  hangs at the
   same place in the same files with no explanation no matter what 
   verbosity level I set it to.  Each time it hangs it 
 leaves an rsync 
   process running on the source machine

   I added the timeout option to the command which gives the
  following info:
   (don't know if this will help track down this issue)

   io timeout after 60 seconds - exiting:00 rsync error: 
  timeout in data
   send/receive (code 30) at
   /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.0/io.c(109)
   rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (72412 bytes read so
  far) rsync
   error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
   /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.0/io.c(189)
   
   If I run it again the bytes read so far values is 
 identical If I 
   delete the particular file that it hangs at (from the 
 destination) 
   then the same thing happens again using or not using the 
 -W option 
   makes no difference using or not using compression makes no
  difference



   Now this bit is very odd:
   If I change directory on the destination machine into the 
 directory 
   where the problem file is and change the rsync command to
  transfer all
   the files in that directory (adding the directory/* to the source
   parameter) then the file is transferred just fine!

   go figure!

   I then rerun rsync and it will carry on past this file 
 (since it is 
   now up to date on the destination) until it hits some other
  problem 
   file and hangs again.


   any ideas most appreciated!
   There's a note on the website home page that using daemon mode 
   sometimes works around this



   The man page hints that I can run rsync in daemon mode on
  the source
   machine by specifying the right parameters on the client
  command line
   If I'm using SSH do I still need to open up the rsync
  server port on
   the server machine, or does the traffic come over the ssh
  connection?
   If so what is the format of the client command line - try
  as I may I
   can't get it to work - it just exits immediately as soon as
  I add the
   --daemon parameter

Re: cwRync and Windows permissions

[tevfik]

Hi,

cwRsync package has a batch file example that corrects permissions problem
at client side. However, this is not the case for the server part.  You
have to manually set a system-wide variable CYGWIN to nontsec and restart
cwRsync service after correcting permissions as you like.

Have a look at

http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php?module=faqFAQ_op=viewFAQ_id=12

In short :

Right click My Computer Go to Properties Go to the Advanced Tab Click
Environment Variables In the bottom section (System variables), add the
new entry: CYGWIN, with value nontsec Restart the rsync service Make sure
the folders you are uploading to have the permissions you want the files
to inherit. Doing this, I’ve found the uploaded files get the correct
permissions.

Rgrds Tev

cwRsync maintainer

NB! cwRsync package does not handle this automatically, because I don't
want to disturb an existing cygwin installation. Maybe, it's time to offer
it as an option.

 Hi all,

 I'm rsyncing a windows 2003 client to a windows 2003 server using the
 cwrsync installation package.

 The trouble is that the permission rights set by rsync on the destination
 server are very restrictive
 and don't allow another application to access the files. I'd like to
 change that.
 However, the GID and UID parameters in the rsyncd.conf file don't seem to
 manage that. With
 the rsync service running as a user or with the system account, it doesn't
 change the permissions
 the way I want it. I haven't found clear explanations in the web or the
 mailing list archives (it looks
 way too much linuxian to me !).

 So, questions :
 Is the cwrsync package enough to manage permission rights or do I have to
 use the complete
 CYGWIN thing ?
 If the cwrsynvc package can handle it, how can I set the permissions I
 want (or at least make
 the destination directory inherit from the permissions set) ?

 Advices And Answers Are Always Appreciated.

A very nice way to do that.  You might want to watch the VmRSS value,
which will tell you how much of the memory is resident.  A lower RSS
value means it will play nicer with other processes when memory is
full.

No, it won't help your situation.  If your goal is to fine-tune your
setup, ignore this comment.  If your goal is to measure improvements
in how rsync 2.6.1 handles memory compared to earlier versions, the
improvement when -H is used is very pronounced and worth a look-see.

 Not sure about my fork() -- here is the sys info:
 linux kernel 2.4.21

Linux has copy-on-write memory sharing for fork().  I'm not sure how to
ask /proc for the shared-memory value, though.  I usually use top for
that.

Re: RSync on Windows 2003

[tevfik]

Hi,

cwRsync installation asks you a directory to keep your writeable modules
in. Make sure that all writeable modules (read only = false) point to
directories lying under this directory. In that way, you will make sure
that -cwrsync- account has correct permissions and ownership.

In your case, this directory should be C:\ARCHIMED_INSTANCE.

Of course, you can override this behaviour by specifying an other
directory. You must then make sure that account -cwrsync- has full
permissions to this directory.

Don't forget to use CYGWIN=nontsec in your batch files when running rsync.

 Hello,

 I'm desperately trying to have a RSync server work on a Windows 2003
 Standard Server.
 All the documentation available I have found applies to Windows NT/2000/XP
 I don't know whether 2003 works differently from the previous Windows.

 I have installed the cwrsync package.
 The RSyncServer Service is running fine under a user account named
 cwrsync.
 A successful Telnet on the port 873 tells me that the rsync service is
 responding.

 Here is my rsyncd.conf File :
 -
 use chroot = false
 strict modes = false
 hosts allow = *
 log file = rsyncd.log
 pid file = rsyncd.pid

 [test]
 path = /cygdrive/c/ARCHIMED_INSTANCE/MASC/Standard/cwrsync/DATA/
 read only = false
 transfer logging = yes
 -

From what I have seen in web pages, this file is correctly configured.

 Here is my rsync command line for testing the service locally :
 -
 rsync -vz /cygdrive/c/ARCHIMED_INSTANCE/MASC/Standard/cwrsync/doc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]::test
 -

 I keep getting the following error :

 -
 @ERROR: chdir failed
 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (33 bytes read so far)
 rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189)
 -

 I guess chdir refers to the directory with the files to be copied (the one
 in the rsync command line)
 but I can't figure why there is an error. I've checked and rechecked the
 path.
 The account cwrsync has full control over the chdir so it should see it.

 I really don't understand what's going on.
 Is this problem Windows 2003 related ?
 Does ssh have anything to do with it ?
 Or is it some dumb configuration mistake I've been missing these last 3
 hours ?

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

By default, only local administrators group and service account (an ordinary

local users group have read access.

If you want more, you can simply change permissions to whatever you want
(properties-Security). Make sure that you also set CYGWIN environment
variable to 'nontsec' via Control Panel-System-Advanced-Environment
variables-System variables.

Hope it helps.

NetWare 6 sp4 server to windows 2000 server using cwrsync 1.2.1

when the cwrsync service writes the files to the server it uses it's
own username and permissions.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to
how I can get this to write the files so common users and delete and
change stuff?  would the perverse permissions work with windows?

Thanks,

Re: Ownership lost: linux - windows - linux

[tevfik]

Hi,

I want to make sure that cwRsync is NOT a separate product/solution or 
whatever. It is simply a packaging of rsync on cygwin to make 
deployment/installation easier. cwRsync is a minimalist environment and does 
not support keeping ownership information between transfers.

You should go for a full blown cygwin environment and use CYGWIN=ntsec if 
you really find out what support you can expect. I suspect that you may have 
a limited success, since Cygwin is a Linux emulation layer on Windows and 
Windows with NTFS filesystem has a quite complicated ACL system.

Subject: Ownership lost: linux - windows - linux

 Hi,
 
 I have a problem of loss of file ownership with rsync.
 For some odd reasons, I have to use a windows machine
 as rsync server, and to backup/restore a filesystem
 from/to a linux client.
 
 All files in my linux filesystem are owned by root,
 with gid root.
 If I save the files onto the windows rsync server from
 linux using rsync, and then restore them back to
 linux, the ownership for all files changes, becoming
 uid=400, gid=401.
 
 All other file attributes are correctly preserved,
 including read/write permissions and even setuid bits.
 
 Could you help me solving this problem?
 
 On windows I'm using cwRsync 1.1.0 on a 2003 server.
 Here is my rsyncd.conf on windows:
 --- start of rsyncd.conf
 
 use chroot = false
 strict modes = false
 hosts allow = *
 log file = rsyncd.log
 pid file = rsyncd.pid
 
 [myalias]
 path = /cygdrive/c/cwrsync/data/mydir
 read only = false
 transfer logging = yes
 
 --- end of rsyncd.conf
 
 On linux I'm using rsync 2.5.6, launching it with this
 syntax:
 /usr/local/bin/rsync -a -v -c --progress --stats
 rsync://IPADDRESS/ALIAS LOCALDIR
 
 Thank you for any help.

Re: rsync not saving files on windows 2000

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi,

Have a look at my website http://itefix.no/cwrsync

I suppose , you have problems with permissions and ownerships. Make sure
that your windows 2000 account OWNS directories you try to sync and run
rsync with env.variable CYGWIN=nontsec.

ideas
 on how I can get this working or get more info to debug. Thanks.

Re: Problem on XP with --delete option

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi,

Run rsync from a batch file where you set env.variable CYGWIN=notnsec.
Further instructions and an example can be found at http://itefix.no/cwrsync

Check who owns your files. You have to make sure that the account that
starts rsync also owns directories you want to sync.

 Hi,

 I'm experiencing a problem on rsync with the --delete option.

 Situation:

 Server = Mandrake Linux 9.2 running rsync daemon

 Client = Windows XP workstation running cygwin + rsync2.5.1 combined with
ssh.

 All this implemented conform the website of Robert Scholten
(http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/rsync/)
 Every thing seems to work fine exept for the --delete option.

 The rsync says: IO error encountered - skipping file deletion

 The transfer of files works fine, no I/O errors at all. Do you guys have
any suggestion for me ?

 Thanks in advance.

 Kind regards

Re: cwRsync 2.5.7

[Tevfik Karaglle]

Hello,

I tried two snapshots from http://cygwin.com/snapshots : 20031214 and
20031206. The first one (14.dec) hangs all the time. The second one (06.dec)
doesn't hang at all according to my tests!!

 I released an updated cwRsync package(1.0.3a) with the latter snapshot. It
can be downloaded from
http://itefix.no/cwrsync/cwRsync_1.0.3a_Installer.zip.  It is definitely
worth to test !!

 The problem appears to be in the cygwin dll.  See:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-12/msg00414.html
 Until the fix makes it out as a release, there will
 continue to be lots of this kind of report.  Right now
 it is just fixed in a snapshot.

cygwin + rsync : tips about permissions problem

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi,

If you experience problems with permissions, make sure that your subdirectories 
inherit their permissions from the parent directory and you start rsync from a batch 
file where you set CYGWIN environment variable to nontsec. Example : 


  @echo off
  set CYGWIN=nontsec

  cd C:\Program Files\cwRsync

  echo   C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log
  date /T  C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log
  time /T  C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log

  rsync.exe --verbose --recursive --delete /cygdrive/d/x/xxx 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::test  C:\Program Files\cwRsync\rsync.log
 


I would also like to inform that I updated my cwRsync package with the latest rsync 
binary (2.5.7). http://itefix.no/cwrsync

Re: minimalist rsync on windows

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi again,

Well, I know that there many other solutions. I can only describe what works
for me:

1  Install cygwin ssh.exe and related DLLs (cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll, cygz.dll)
in the cwrsync directory
2. On rsync server side, MAKE a symbolic link to rsyncd.conf from your home
directory
3. Run the following command to initiate rsync over ssh

rsync --rsh ssh -l login myfiles on my pc server::module

Maybe your plink works just fine instead of ssh. Then you can skip step 1.

 Hi Tevfik,
 Yes, thank-you.  I am trying to use it.  But, I am just
 having a lot of trouble and I am sure it is something very
 small.
 I attached the /var/log/auth.log messages for 1 rsync
 attempt when trying to connect using this command:

 C:\Program Files\cwRsyncrsync -e plink.exe -pw *
 css1.css [EMAIL PROTECTED]:bree
 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
 rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12)
 at io.c(165) rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
 rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12)
 at /tmp/rsync-2.5.6/i o.c(177)

 -- plink is a command-line ssh program from the Putty
 distribution.  I put plink in the same cwrsync dir.  Can you
 please look at my attached log entries for this connection,
 (not to long)?


 --- 
 My relevant rsyncd.conf:

 # GLOBAL OPTIONS

 log file=/var/log/rsyncd.log
 pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid
 syslog facility=daemon
 #socket options=

 # MODULE OPTIONS

 [bree]

 comment = public archive

 use chroot = yes
 lock file = /var/lock/rsyncd
 read only = no

 ignore errors = no
 ignore nonreadable = yes
 transfer logging = no
 timeout = 600
 refuse options = checksum, dry-run
 dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso
 *.bz2 *.tbz

 
 Also, my desired result is to have something like yours or
 the rsync-minimalist version with an open license but very
 few files and small in space requirements.   I will be using
 rsync only as a client to connect and backup to a Linux
 server.

A weird solution to the rsync zombie (hanging) processes on win32/cygwin

[Tevfik Karagülle]

Hi,

I've been following discussions around rsync hanging problems on cygwin for
awhile. Since the problem occurs at the end of the pipeline after files are
copied successfully, I thought we can make a kind of workaround : Kill those
processes in a controlled way.

My solution is a perl script : zombrsync.pl. This script does the following
:

Endless loop start

- get a before-snapshot of all rsync processes
- wait (60 secs pr default, can be adjusted from command line)
-get a after-snapshot of all rsync process again
- Skip rsync daemons (no tty, and different window and posix pids,
something from cygrunsrv I guess!!)
- Check if the process used processor time (user+system) during our
snapshot interval
- If the answer is no, then this process is a zombie according to our
criteria - KILL IT.

Endless loop end

The script requires that you start rsync via cygrunsrv and cygwin ps command
is available. You need also Win32::Process::Info and all related perl
modules (Win32::API and so on !!)

I tested it on a Windows 2000 machine where I had problems. It works quite
well. A compiled version (EXE file) can be made available at request. I also
have plans to enhance my cwRsync solution (http://itefix.no/cwrsync) with
this feature. Daemonizing, some tests and packaging must be done first.

I will appreciate if some of you can test the script on your platforms and
give me feedback. Here's script :

 zombrsync.pl
start --

#
# zombrsync.pl - Kills rsync zombie processes on Win32/cygwin platform

use strict;
use Win32::Process;
use Win32::Process::Info;
use Getopt::Long;

our $interval = 60;
our @winpid = ();
our %pid = ();
our %tty = ();

our ($pi, @apsinfo, @bpsinfo);

GetOptions ('interval=i' = \$interval)
 or die Usage : $0 [-i | --interval seconds]\n;

$pi = Win32::Process::Info-new ();

# Behave yourself as a stupid daemon !!
while (1) {

 # Get BEFORE-snapshot
 GetPslist ();
 @apsinfo = $pi-GetProcInfo (@winpid);

 sleep ($interval); # Wait

 # Get AFTER-snapshot
 GetPslist ();
 @bpsinfo = $pi-GetProcInfo (@winpid);

 # Check zombies
 foreach my $process (@winpid) {

  # Do nothing if rsync is not attached to a tty AND
  # windows process id is not equal to posix process id (daemon?)
  next if (($process != $pid {$process})  ( $tty {$process} eq '?'));

  # Well, here we have a candidate, let's check if no processor time is used
  # during our checkpoint interval
  my $aps = $apsinfo[$process];
  my $bps = $bpsinfo[$process];

  my $atime = $aps-{'KernelModeTime'} + $aps-{'UserModeTime'};
  my $btime = $bps-{'KernelModeTime'} + $bps-{'UserModeTime'};

  if ($atime == $btime) { # Got it, a zombie according to our criteria
   Win32::Process::KillProcess($process, -1) ;
   print localtime () .: rsync zombie process $process killed.\n;
  }
 }

}

#
#
#   GetPslist : uses cygwin ps command to get a picture of process status
#
sub GetPslist {

 open PSFILE, ..\\ps -a | or
  die Problems during opening pipe : $!\n;

 @winpid = %pid = %tty = (); # Initialize global structures

 while (PSFILE) {

  next if ! (/rsync$/); # only  interested in lines ending with rsync
  split; # ps -a output :  PID  PPID  PGID  WINPID  TTY  

  push @winpid, $_[3];
  $pid { $_[3] } = $_[0]; # winpid -- pid
  $tty { $_[3] } = $_[4]; # winpid -- tty
 }

 close PSFILE;

}

- zombrsync.pl
end 

Enjoy!
