Re: Bug in rsyncd 2.5.0 while handling config file string values

2001-12-03 Thread tim . conway
Well, that's a bug, I'd reckon, but i want to point out that a config file with only one line is invalid. you need to have at least a module and its path defined. I wouldn't expect daemon mode to gracefully handle an invalid config, though simply declaring that the file is invalid and

rsync already has a memory-hogging issue. Imagine having it search your entire directory tree, checksumming all files, storing and sending them all, comparing both lists looking for matching date/time/checksums to guess where you've moved files to. You'd be better off to use a wrapper the

-v prints directories twice

2001-12-03 Thread Dave Dykstra
Does it bother anybody else that -v prints directories twice? It first prints all affected directories and files in recursive order and then prints new directories again. I can't recall noticing that rsync always did that, but I don't think it's a very recent change. The directory is being

question on permissions

Netware modify bit changed

2001-12-03 Thread Juan
Hi, I run rsync, with a Netware-directory mounted on a linux system (using ncpfs) as DESTINATION of the copy. This configuration works fine, but rsync incorrectly sets the archive bit (modify) for ALL the files included in the transfered directory (both modified and not modified).
