Re: How to do two or more rsyncs with one password?
Hi Joe,
Here is a shell script I inherited. Probably someone before me found it on a
website for all I know. I do not fully understand it however just modify the
rsync= line, modify the paths= area, and replace ServerNameGoesHere with the
destination server. You may want to remove the MySql part.
I'm guessing this works because there is a key in place already.
#!/bin/bash
# sync content to off-site systems
[ -t 1 ] v=vP
rsync=( rsync -az$v -e ssh -p 22 --bwlimit=2000 --delete-after )
paths=(
/home # main thing to get sync'd
/etc/php.ini # what if php.d is out of sync?
# /etc/php.d # sync via yum somehow?
# /var/lib/mysql # use replication instead
/var/www/html # nothing here usually
/var/www/cgi-* # cgiwrap and phpwrap
# /var/lib/php/session # sessions will break anyway
)
for path in ${pat...@]}
do
[ -t 1 ] echo $path
${rsy...@]} $path ServerNameGoesHere:${path%/*}/ [ -t 1 ]
wait
done
# sync mysql to a backup folder (replication normally handles it)
[ -t 1 ] echo /var/lib/mysql
${rsy...@]} /var/lib/mysql/ ServerNameGoesHere:/var/lib/mysql-rsync/
wait
[ -t 1 ] ||
while pgrep -x rsync /dev/null
do
echo rsync still running!
sleep 10
done

Re: How to do two or more rsyncs with one password?
My preference is to NEVER rsync across an un secured channel. Rsync is easily tunneled inside ssh, and ssh can use rsa encryption keys for authentication. Solving both problems with one solution.

Re: How to do two or more rsyncs with one password?
My first thought is, why aren't you doing it with just one rsync call like: rsync -avHp --progress subdir1 subdir2 subdir3 webh...@box000.bluehost.com:www/ If it's because your example doesn't directly reflect your situation, as in your are needing to copy into several different destination directories, you will just need to setup a shared key for ssh and copy the public key over to the destinations authorized_keys file. Once you have done that, you can copy over to the destination without any passwords at all if you want.

User keys are the best solution. However, in PCI Compliance, SSH, (even via keys) are often not allowed as the root user, depending on your switch/firewall and VLAN settings. I am assuming you are not worried about that (just setup SSH keys and run your command and you will not be prompted for the passwords): http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html You could also only allow forced commands in SSH via the key (for security): PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only (explained in the Link) Where root SSH key exchange is not possible, you could alternately add expect (outside a production controlled SRC environment) and script in a challenge and password to your backup script. http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2004/09/01/backing-up-using-expect-and-rsync/ -- Office: (602)239-3392 ATT: (503)754-4452 http://it-clowns.com http://it-clowns.com/wiki/index.php?title=Obnosis Faith is, at one and the same time, absolutely necessary and altogether impossible. --Stanislav Lem --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: How to do two or more rsyncs with one password?
A bit snotty for someone asking for help! Set up ssh-server on each of your target machines. Once key authentication is set up, I generally turn off password authentication, but that is just my paranoia. Man for sah-keygen, the how to is right there. Then man rsync and the switches to tunnel via ssh are right there. All this was right in your documentation of what I said in my original post. I assumed you were looking to learn. If not, you may want to consider a consultant if you just want someone to do it for you. The H was there if only you looked for it.

Sorry about getting a bit snotty myself. But the OP isn't doing the work to solve and learn himself, he just wanted someone to do his job for him. Had I been home I would have googled the answer and posted a link, but I am replying from my phone, trying to help someone too lazy to help themselves.

I think we tend to forget how some of these things come very easy to us and what we perceive as a push in the right direction is no more than a bunch of computer jargon they have never heard before. Set up ssh-server on each of your target machines. Once key authentication is set up, I generally turn off password authentication, but that is just my paranoia. Man for sah-keygen, the how to is right there. There is a typo in his explanation, he means ssh-keygen In a nutshell, you just run the program following the directions given and then copy the contents of id_rsa.pub file that it will create to the next line of the .ssh/authorized_keys file in the home directory of the destination machine. You will probably have to create the file if keys have never been used on the system. Then man rsync and the switches to tunnel via ssh are right there. This should be unnecessary as rsync uses ssh by default these days, and has for years.
