Re: rsync 2.5.5 and Mac OS X
I compile rsync on Mac OSX (not sure of the osx version, but uname -a says it's darwin 5.5) but haven't tried running as a daemon. I suggest that you try to debug it further. setgroups() is only called one place, in clientserver.c, with parameters setgroups(0, NULL), and only if the define HAVE_SETGROUPS is set. This call was a relatively recent security fix addition to rsync. The OSX setgroups man page says that the EINVAL error is only supposed to occur if the first parameter is greater than NGROUPS_MAX. Apparently it is also reporting that error if the first parameter is zero. - Dave Dykstra On Thu, Jun 27, 2002 at 02:51:40PM -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've got mine setup in inetd.conf to be executed on a per-call request > of port 873 as written in the man pages.

Re: rsync 2.5.5 and Mac OS X
I've got mine setup in inetd.conf to be executed on a per-call request of port 873 as written in the man pages. The advantage of using this method, is that when the client is done and disconnects, the daemon quits, thereby freeing up resources that it was using. Word of warning though if you want to try this route.. you need to add an rsync tcp entry for port 873 into Services with the NetInfo manager in addition to editing the /etc/inetd.conf file. You'll have to restart to get any changes to inetd.conf take effect as 'killall -HUP inetd' has no effect. When run in the manner above, it is started up as the root user (as specified in inetd.conf). - Original Message - From: Catalino Cuadrado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, June 27, 2002 2:19 pm Subject: Re: rsync digest, Vol 1 #778 - 11 msgs > I haven't gotten it to work successfully, I'm still struggling > with the > same setgroups error that you are.

rsync 2.5.5 and Mac OS X
Greetings, Has anyone successfully compiled rsync 2.5.5 under Mac OS X (not Server), and actually have it work fully? I'm in a position where I'm trying to setup an automated nightly remote backup between and Cobalt Raq4 (running a variant of Redhat Linux) and a Mac running OS X 10.1.5 with the latest development tools installed. As has been pointed out previously on the list, one has to ./configure with the --disable-ipv6 flag to even get it to compile at all. However there's further issues when trying to back up to the Mac running rsync in inetd --daemon mode. When I issue the following command: --- rsync -avz /home [EMAIL PROTECTED]::raqbackup --- I get the following error: --- @ERROR: setgroups failed rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (79 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) --- On the server end, rsyncd.log shows the following: --- 2002/06/27 09:50:03 [19768] setgroups failed: Invalid argument --- I've had luck running rsync 2.5.2 running through ssh, but because I can't get it to retain the user/group ownership settings it's completely useless as 'mirrored' backup unless I spent the next month hand restoring the file ownership's by hand. The man pages noted this limitation, unless running as super-user, which I haven't been able to get to work (use chroot=yes in rsyncd.conf doesn't seem to do it) If anyone has been able to get Mac OS X 10.1.5 running as a rsync server in such a fashion, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. For debuging purposes, my current rsyncd.conf is: --- use chroot = yes max connections = 1 syslog facility = local5 motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [raqbackup] path = /Volumes/Eeyore/RaqBackup comment = Raq Backup Directory auth users = xxx secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets --- and the destination directory is set as: --- drwxrwxrwx2 nobody nobody 24 Jun 26 22:09 RaqBackup --- Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer.
