In essense, I'm tripping over subtle changes in daemon exclude behaviour. The following is a rundown of what I have & how I worked around the changes. rsyncd.conf snippets (old, gives the previously mentioned error): [slackware] comment = Slackware mirror (trees only: use [slackware-iso] for isos) lock file = /var/lock/rsyncd.slackware.lock max connections = 2 path = /path/to/slackware exclude = /.* /slackware-*-iso [slackware-iso] comment = Slackware mirror (isos only: use [slackware] for trees) lock file = /var/lock/rsyncd.slackware-iso.lock max connections = 2 path = /path/to/slackware exclude = /.* /slackware-*.? /slackware-current layout in /path/to/slackware/ (dirs suffixed with '/' to differentiate them from regular files): slackware-8.1/ slackware-8.1-iso/ slackware-9.0/ slackware-9.0-iso/ slackware-9.1/ slackware-9.1-iso/ slackware-10.0/ slackware-10.0-iso/ slackware-10.1/ slackware-10.1-iso/ slackware-10.2/ slackware-10.2-iso/ slackware-11.0/ slackware-11.0-iso/ slackware-12.0/ slackware-12.0-iso/ slackware-current/ .hidden/ (not its real name. development stuff) .*.?????? (--temp-dir points here for pulling updates) The workaround is almost anticlimactic. All it took was to change each module's '/.*' exclude to '/.?*'. While experimenting, I found another module with the same problem. rsyncd.conf snippet (old, gives the previously mentioned error): [sligdo] comment = Slackware via Jigdo path = /path/to/sligdo exclude = index.shtml */*/ *.meta layout in /path/to/sligdo/ (dirs suffixed with '/' to differentiate them from regular files): slackware-8.1/ slackware-8.1/0000-00-00/ slackware-9.0/ slackware-9.0/0000-00-00/ slackware-9.1/ slackware-9.1/0000-00-00/ slackware-10.0/ slackware-10.0/0000-00-00/ slackware-10.1/ slackware-10.1/0000-00-00/ slackware-10.2/ slackware-10.2/2005-09-13/ slackware-11.0/ slackware-11.0/2006-10-02/ slackware-12.0/ slackware-12.0/2007-07-02/ index.shtml jigdo-file slackware-mirrors.jigdo sligdo sligdo-create Each of the slackware-$VERSION/ & slackware-$VERSION/YYYY-MM-DD/ directories contain one or more file triplets named slackware-$VERSION-$ISONAME.jigdo slackware-$VERSION-$ISONAME.meta slackware-$VERSION-$ISONAME.template where I want only the slackware-$VERSION/ .jigdo/.template pairs & most of the toplevel regular files available for public access. What I don't want available are the slackware-$VERSION/YYYY-MM-DD/ dirs & contents as well as the toplevel index.shtml. Working around this was't quite as elegant. I needed to change the '*/*/' exclude to '*/??*/'. Erik -- "Failure is not an option. (It comes bundled with Windows.)"
