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 = xxxxxxx secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets --- and the destination directory is set as: --- drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 24 Jun 26 22:09 RaqBackup --- Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer.
