I second your point. It's a real pain in the butt to be in a noisy

Actually, I tried that earlier and it didn't work. The connection
terminates unexpectedly almost immediately after the process begins. Rsyncd
uses user nobody by default, and that user can't create the files on the
server. That would work perfectly if the server was the source, but in

That would work for this aprticular case I explained - however, the fact
is that f_name() can change the value of the arguments passed around

I committed that change last January, so it should already be in the
2.5.6 and 2.5.7 releases.

Hi --
I'm experiencing problems when using rsync between two different machines.
Details follows:
Both machines are running 2.4.23, rsync versions on both are identically
configured versions of 2.5.7:
rsync version 2.5.7 protocol version 26

Quoting from the rsyncd.conf file you cited:
uid = server1
gid = server1
Comment-out these lines.

Wayne,
AFAIK, the daemon is running as root. Thjs is how I set it up under xinetd.
As I understand it, in order for the chroot to work, it has to be root.
This is also evidenced by the fact that it is running on rsync's default
port which is under 1024.

I have been trying for quite a while now to understand why is the
flist.c:f_name() function implemented using static buffers. Anyone care to
comment?
The immediate problem is that any call to f_name overrides the previous
content (well, obvious). This, combined with the fact that several

I am trying to copy an 8 gig file. After first copying it over I try

file over again? Here is the output of what I am trying to do. And
what does speedup mean?

Hello
Regarding ownership on the destination:
rsync's man page indicates that when synchronizing files to a remote host,
-o implies the --numeric-ids option, which makes perfect sense aince the
named users/groups may not exist on the destination host. The problem I
have is that the files cre

The rsync-on-cygwin hang problem looks like it will be fixed in the next
cygwin release by their fixing a bug in cygwin's signal handling. In
the meantime, there is a cygwin-specific version that has a patch that
tries to kludge around the problem. Others who actually use the cygwin

Hi,
I am trying to sync 50Gb volume using Rsync 2.5.5, but get random errors
like this one:
"rename Skala/Plus/Kubek/.Kubas3.psd.001742 ->
Skala/Plus/Kubek/Kubas3.psd : Resource(s) in use".
Every rsync session the files which are "in use" are different.

I just noticed this in the rsyncd.conf manpage:
.SH "VERSION"
This man page is current for version 2\&.0 of rsync
I'm sure that this can be updated to 2.6.0 :-)
