Rsync Re: Trailing /

2002-11-08 Thread Lachlan Cranswick
What should be the official behaviour here? I must admit some of my scripts probably have both trailing and non-trailing /. But just played around until it was mirroring into the correct directory. Lachlan. At 18:20 07/11/02 -0500, you wrote: It appears that the trailing slash in the source

Re: important caveat with Rsync on NT and dayligt savings time

2002-10-29 Thread Lachlan Cranswick
I think this day light savings time stamp issue also affects Win98 as well - at least on a Win98 PC I use. Rsync insists on updating all the files fully. Shouldn't it just be resetting the times on the files if the files are the same size - or am I missing something here? Lachlan. Your

Yo, Just a word of the bleeding obvious on the following problem I reported previously: (if someone else did reply - it got lost in the few 100 spam Emails I get a day) In the /etc/rsync.conf - under the relevant module area - it was a matter of setting the uid and gid to root. uid = root

rsync: network bind interfaces only command for rsync?

2002-05-13 Thread Lachlan Cranswick
Hi, Is there a network interface listen command for rsync so that for a system with multiple network cards and multiple IP addresses - rsync will only be visible on a defined interface and defined IPs? Like in samba?: e.g., bind interfaces only = True interfaces = eth0 193.xy.zz.aa

RSYNC: Backup Solution thoughts...

2001-12-18 Thread Lachlan Cranswick
I'm thinking of how to backup an entire server (server A) to a remote area (server B) using rsync. My initial thought was to have a shell account on server B, then have a cronjob running as root on server A that uses rsync to send all the files over to the shell account on server B. Then I

Rsync: Re: password prompts

2001-04-06 Thread Lachlan Cranswick
Might there be a good set of tutorials on the web on how to do this while minimizing the risk of exposing systems as a consequence? (setup of private/public identity files that minimize the risk of hackers getting passwordless access to other remote machines). I must admit hating the

As for implementing ssh inside of rsync, I'd like to continue to reiterate what a bad idea I think that is. Security is enough pain without worrying about every program carrying its own security model and implementation (and possible exploits). What if such a feature was an optional module that

Hi, Not sure if this was answered in the recent flurry of postings but what is the status on putting a cut-down version of ssh inside rsync to allow an "easy" encryption option? Lachlan. Lachlan M. D. Cranswick Geochemistry - Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University PO Box 1000,
