Lets ask Andrew to add CHAP like authentication - that will clear my
complaints. I don't like the idea of IP based authentication, it is weak
and it is a pain to admin.
Too late --- he's already added it :-)
In the /etc/rsyncd.conf file on the target, you need something like this:
I don't mind having people mirror off debian.crosslink.net; it has
lots of capacity. The past problems with debian.crosslink.net not
mirroring correctly, and the underlying problem of my having no time
to fix it, have been resolved. Currently I'm mirroring it over
rsync/ssh to master; but by
and master. It would be a good idea to minimize the
net load from mirroring so they can be used for other tasks).
Given the large number of mirrors (ftp and www) it would be a good idea if we
set up
a more formal mirroring policy. My proposal would be to switch to anon rsync on
master which is restricted
As quite a number of people are currently using rsync to mirror, is it
really worth it to make a change?
It's worth at least setting up annon rsync, because it means that the data
does not get run through ssh at each end, thus saving CPU cycles and 10% (or
more) of the bandwidth.
