Package: rssh Version: 2.3.2-2 Severity: important I have two servers which sync a directory tree using rsync.
Server A is the target (mirror) server. Is a Debian Stable (Etch). Has an user account (bkpns1) which is restricted to use only rsync. Server B is the source server. Is a Debian Testing (Lenny). As a cron job it executes an rsync to mirror part of the filesystem to server B using the username (bkpns1) and ssh certificates for automatic login. It's all been working like a charm until recently rsync was updated to 3.0.0 on testing so server B got it. Now I get this: On server B (executing rsync): insecure -e option not allowed. This account is restricted by rssh. Allowed commands: rsync If you believe this is in error, please contact your system administrator. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.0] Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '83.38.48.87' to the list of known hosts.
