Hi all, I'm a bit confused about the log-file option for the daemon rsync.
What the rsyncd.conf manual page says about the 'log file' option in rsyncd.conf: "This setting can be overridden by using the --log-file=FILE or --dparam=logfile=FILE command-line options. The former overrides all the log-file parameters of the daemon and all module settings." And the rsync manual page in the daemon section says: "This option tells the rsync daemon to use the given log-file name instead of using the "log file" setting in the config file." From this I would assume that when I run the daemon like this: $/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --log-file=/tmp/rsync_test.log --no-detach "$OPTIONS", I would get one log file - /tmp/rsync_test.log. Instead when I run rsync from a remote client, two log files are created. There is a piece of information in the /var/log/rsyncd.log file (the default one from /etc/rsyncd.conf) and another piece of information in rsync_test.log. Is this how it is supposed to work or is it a bug? Thanks. Michal Ruprich -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
