It works the same when the module is hosted chrooted or not -- i.e. '/' is the root of the module. > Hopefully, this is documented. :-) There is a mention of this in the docs that I added. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I think with those examples, everyone should be able to figure out what to do.

Cool! I assume it's something like rsync --link-dest /current /mydirtobackup server::backup/new ie, you don't put the module name in the link-dest.

Thanks, I edited this down a little and included it in my suggested doc change (it's now in CVS). Feel free (anyone) to critique what I've done if you think it could be improved further. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: rsync/cwsync dir spaces on the path
Because spaces are part of the syntax of the rsyncd.conf, you'll need to work around them. Wildcards are outside the concept of modules, as referring to the module is referring to a specific location on the filesystem, not a range of possible choices. You can either use symlinks to give nice clean names, [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/cnwt99>ls -l mydocs lrwxrwxrwx1 cnwt99 mkgroup- 170 Mar 8 13:49 mydocs -> /c/Documents and Settings/cnwt99/My Documents [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/cnwt99> or find the short name for the items. C:\cygwin\home\cnwt99>dir /? /X This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file names. The format is that of /N with the short name inserted before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are displayed in its place.

And sorry ! if I'm bothering you with this question... I need to sync my work files from the WinXP Pro machine to our Solaris one... so far so fine.. My problem is when I specify the path on the rsyncd.conf (cwrsync) I have tried many combinations from: /cygdrive/c/Documents*/rbadilla/My*/clients /cygdrive/c/Documents*/rbadilla/ "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/rbadilla" /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings /cygdrive/c/Documents*tings /cygdrive/c/"Documents and Settings/rbadilla" Until now I always get the " chdir /cygdrive/c/XXX failed : No such file or directory " Can you enlight me??? -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: Root access over ssh?
Please tell me you're just going along with the joke. In case you're not, please immediately remove those lines and rehup your inetd.

Hmmm, thanks for the advice, I tried this, but my rsync still isn't working. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
