[BackupPC-users] MOTD file entry breaks authentication
I noticed when setting up my backuppc install that Windows clients with rsyncd software worked OK. A linux box did not. In the log file was the error message auth required, but service is open/insecure. I double-checked the settings, and then tried a simple command-line rsync. I was prompted for a password, as expected. I rsynced to a Windows box, and was also prompted for password. Both were successful at rsyncing a small directory. I turned off authorization requirement, and received a new message in the log for the linux box: unexpected response: '' Puzzled, I looked closer at the command line. There was an extra linefeed on the Linux output: # rsync -azv linuxbox::module . Password: vs. the windows box: # rsync -azv winbox::module . Password: I then checked the rsyncd.conf file on Linux, and discovered that there was an MOTD file listed. The file did not actually exist, but the reference was there. I added a file with "Message of the day" text in it, and voila - that message showed up in the "unexpected response" quotation marks. I removed the motd file reference from rsyncd.conf, and backups to the linux server work fine. The command-line login now looks just like the Windows login - no extra line. I see this error message listed around on the mailing list, so I know I'm not the only one who's run into this. - Paul * * - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

See the BackupPC documentation: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#requirements Some distributions have ready-to-go packages. I know Debian- and Red Hat-style (via RPMForge) distro's do. What OS are you running and did you install BackupPC from source or using your package manager?

Ubuntu is up to date according to the package manager. The Debian/Ubuntu package name for File::RsyncP is libfile-rsyncp-perl I believe. I don't know if the Debian/Ubuntu package installs this as a dependency automatically. File::RsyncP is the CPAN name and on Red Hat style distro's you can use the package called perl-File-RsyncP from RPMForge.

And yes, it was installed automatically as a dependency. Perl is currently at 5.8.8. - Paul - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
