In my case, that's not true. What appears to be happening is that BackupPC has no trouble contacting rsyncd, but then rsyncd gets confused and complains about perfoming an operation on the wrong socket. Both networks actually work perfectly well by themselves and in tendem, so I'm speculating that rsyncd/cygwin has a problem knowing which network it should be responding to. > >> At the risk of stating what you already know, Administrators in Windows >> don't automatically have access to everything (unlike root) and it's >> possible for a user to revoke access to the Administrator account or to >> the Administrator group.

It's definitely not the case -- Windows' file permissions can be essentially arbitrary, and there's no concept of a "root" user -- where there is a Backup user or group, it generally has no special meaning outside policies, and there's nothing to stop a user with rights to revoke privileges.

I was under the impression that the Backup Operators group always had access while an Administrator might have to change ownership to get it - but I have a machine where that doesn't seem to be the case. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [BackupPC-users] cygwin rsync "getpeerbyname" error on only one machine
After a little more poking around, it seems the problem goes away if one of the networks is disabled. Next thing for me to try: binding rsync to the correct network and leaving both active. At the risk of stating what you already know, Administrators in Windows don't automatically have access to everything (unlike root) and it's possible for a user to revoke access to the Administrator account or to the Administrator group. If you have the user's credentials, you should be able to grant permission to either or both. > Michael Stowe wrote: >> 2) I recently experienced this on an XP laptop after upgrading >> cygwin/rsync after several hundred successful backups.

I ended up getting around it by going back to smb-based backups on just this one client, and to get around the permission issues that continually elude me (why a member of group Administrators can't read a user's entire directory contents is beyond me), I ended up using the main user's login/pass for the authentication :-P Fugly, I know, but at least I can back up his files now. -- Jim Leonard (trix...@oldskool.org)http://www.oldskool.org/ Help our electronic games project: http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ A child borne of the home computer wars: http://trixter.wordpress.com/ -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [BackupPC-users] cygwin rsync "getpeerbyname" error on only one machine
I can offer two clues: 1) I experienced this on an XP system where a personal firewall had been installed, but turned off. Deinstalling the personal firewall (and turning on the built-in one) solved the problem. 2) I recently experienced this on an XP laptop after upgrading cygwin/rsync after several hundred successful backups. After downgrading, the problem has gone away. I can only speculate why this machine is unique, but perhaps it's a clue that it has two active networks. > I have several windows clients (XP, vista, Win7) and on only ONE of the > machines (vista) I am seeing this when I try to connect to rsync from > *outside* the machine: > > 2009/08/27 23:20:10 [5840] rsync: getpeername on fd3 failed: Socket > operation on non-socket (108) > 2009/08/27 23:20:10 [5840] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at > /home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.4-1/src/rsync-3.0.4/clientname.c(168) > [receiver=3.0.4] > > Connections from localhost are fine. > > So I've looked at the code for this function and it looks like it's a > translation from IPv6 to IPv4, but I've disabled IPv6 and it's still > happening. > > Any ideas? -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[BackupPC-users] cygwin rsync "getpeerbyname" error on only one machine
I have several windows clients (XP, vista, Win7) and on only ONE of the machines (vista) I am seeing this when I try to connect to rsync from *outside* the machine: 2009/08/27 23:20:10 [5840] rsync: getpeername on fd3 failed: Socket operation on non-socket (108) 2009/08/27 23:20:10 [5840] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.4-1/src/rsync-3.0.4/clientname.c(168) [receiver=3.0.4] Connections from localhost are fine. So I've looked at the code for this function and it looks like it's a translation from IPv6 to IPv4, but I've disabled IPv6 and it's still happening.
