[Joe via rsync]

Part of the genius of Linux is the concept that each tool should do one
thing well and with pipes it is extremely easy to chain these tools
together in combinations unique to the current requirements of any task.

I can't speak for the rsync developers, but I don't believe they would be
open to adding functionality to their codebase that is already easily
obtained with a few lines of shell scripting. This would also open the
door to many other custom requests that that could tie up the developers
while adding no functionality to rsync itself.

Unless you are in an isolated location, it should be relatively easy to
find a local programmer who can add a few lines of code to your backup
system to give you the desired output. If the system is setup nicely, the
required work might take a few minutes to complete. If it's hard to get to
the output itself before it gets emailed, then it might take a little
longer.

The grep command comes standard with all *nix and Linux distros and is

Re: config

[Joe via rsync]

Once you have the closest superset of what you want to see in your rsync
output, run the result through a filter to clean it up before sending it.

sed and awk are great for this, but any language/script you are familiar
with will do. Having regexes for the pattern matching will make the job
easier as long as the required patterns aren't too complex.

Rsync by default displays nothing.  There are more than one options that
tell it to display the files it is touching.  There are other (and
duplicate) options that tell it to show everything.  You didn't say what
options you are using so we have no idea.  Except that you aren't using
--itemize-changes which is the only option that will tell you why it is
saying what it is saying.

Hello everyone,

Briefly to my problem - or wish: By lucky coincidence I came into 
possession of an HP Proliant.

My junior installed OpenMediaVault for me.
I've been using it as a daily backup for my TeraStation ever since.
Rsync is set up for this.
Every day I get two emails from this backup, in which the complete 
directory is listed that is due to be backed up.
But that's pretty confusing, because that's currently more than 8000 
lines in total.
And why? Because, among other things, I back up my directories with the 
photos from one NAS to another.

And that's quite a lot of directories from the last 20 years ...
In between, individual files appear in individual directories that have 
changed and have been saved as a result.
Isn't it possible that only those files appear in this mail that were 
actually backed up because of the change?

That would be easier and clearer ...
Maybe there is already a solution - an additional option button - *to

What you should try is the sudo ssh command to see what errors it is
generating.  I imagine that root is refusing to use a file owned by someone
else.  You can instead copy the config and key to root's .ssh dir and set it up
to work that way.

OK, I was speaking from a Linux perspective.  I have no idea what OSX uses as
root's home dir.  Simply put, under sudo you are running as root and root has a
different home dir therefore a different ~/.ssh/config file.

Thanks for the faster-than-light response.

I mounted the samba file server to my mac as recommended in
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25112468#25112468

I then symlink and chown to kbroughton so that everything is owned by me down
to /var/lib which is of course root:wheel

[kbroughton@mb-kbroughton:lynx-ansible/21ct-ansible + (develop)] ls
/var/lib/lynxeon/sources/LYNXeon3_fraud_demo_data

/var/lib/lynxeon/sources/LYNXeon3_fraud_demo_data ->
/Volumes/Temp/Departmental_Shares/Lynxeon/FileArchive/LYNXeon3_fraud_demo_data

However, I get a file permission error without sudo

I can ls just fine so it seems i've gotten around the apple bug mentioned in
the link, but rsync still has a problem.  There is not /root to try putting the
.ssh/config there as you suggested.

thanks

The key here is the sudo.  ssh will always look to ~/.ssh/config but once you
sudo your ~ is /root instead of /Users/kbroughton.  Duplicate your
~/.ssh/config in ~root/.ssh/config and it should work fine.

The reason that -F partially works is because the ProxyCommand is a second ssh
session that doesn't have the -F param so is again looking at
/root/.ssh/config.

   Summary: .ssh/config settings are incompletely applied with -e

   Product: rsync
   Version: 3.1.1
  Platform: All

  Severity: normal
  Priority: P5
 Component: core

.ssh/config settings are not applied at all without coaxing.
The IdentityFile setting is not passed to rsync.

For better formatting, see the report here.

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/94421/how-to-use-ssh-config-setting-for-each-server-by-rsync/125251#125251


If i force it with -F "path to .ssh/conf" then the IdentityFile is used
correctly, but the jump-hosting fails.

sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync -az -e "ssh -F /Users/kbroughton/.ssh/config -i
/Users/kbroughton/.ssh/identities/21ct_dev1_key"  /var/data/sources/data.tar.gz

rsync -e "ssh -F /Users/kbroughton/.ssh/config" /local_src

ENVIRONMENT
local Mac maverics
both [default=2.6.9] and homebrew installed 3.1.0 were tried, with no
difference.
Remote centos6.5 rsync 3.0.9

I would expect that by default or with a CLI option rsync would read the local
~/.ssh/config file and apply ALL of its settings including jump-hosting when
the -e or -rsh option is used.

See the CONFIG DIRECTIVES section of the rsyncd.conf manpage in 3.1.0.  At work
we use "&include /etc/rsyncd.d" inside a simple /etc/rsyncd.conf file so we can
put whatever module-defining *.conf files we like inside that directory.

The samba configuration has support for including an external configuration
file into the smb.conf file.

rsync does not support this functionality.

I'm requesting this functionality so rsync server configurations can be
modularly changed without having to edit the "main" file, by dropping other
config files into a directory and having the main config file reference them.

At some level this is just syntactic sugar: I could just combine all the
other files together at run time.  But it would be convenient if rsync
provided the functionality natively.

Well, that's what I was thinking.  But, I just kept believing the man pages
on that system that explain how to use rsync over ssh.

No, it's not a DNS issue.

   $ ssh remotehost

works -- if you look at my original post you will see how rsync on the
remote host is responding:

    $ ssh remotehost
@RSYNCD: 28
^C

which tells me that .ssh/config is read and my single use key is used.

A -v where?  I tried that, but can't get it to generate any output.

$ rsync -v -a --rsh="ssh -v remotehost" ::
unknown host:

$ rsync -v -a --rsh="ssh -v remotehost"::
rsync version 2.4.6 Copyright Andrew Tridgell and Paul Mackerras
[ ... rsync help trimmed ... ]

If I use the actual hostname I can see it's
not using ssh, but the rsync protocol:

$ rsync -e ssh library9.berkeley.edu::

$ netstat | grep -i berkeley
tcp0  1 server:1451 library9.Berkeley:rsync SYN_SENT

So that's the problem.  Should work, according to the help:

$ rsync -help | grep -i rsh
 -e, --rsh=COMMAND   specify rsh replacement

So why isn't is using ssh?

That used to be true, but rsync has supported daemon mode over ssh for
quite a while now, so using both -e (--rsh) and "::" is fine.

It looks like this command didn't even connect to the remote host, so
that would explain why the access times on the ssh files didn't get
updated.  I'd suggest looking into name server issues or something like
that.  Also, specify another -v so you can see the exact command that
rsync is running -- you can try running that command manually, and that
may help you to figure out what is wrong.

Ah, you mean ".ssh/config is being read, but not when ssh is run via
rsync.". Your sentence is a bit confusing :-)

What works a lot better is understanding the rsync syntax.

When you use a double colon "host::", then you're telling ssh to connect
directly to the rsync daemon running on that host using port 873. In
other words, ssh does not come into the equation, so it's pretty logical
that the .ssh config isn't being read...

Use a single colon, and it should be as you expect.
This is covered in basically the first page of the manual.

rsync --rsh not reading .ssh/config

[Bill Moseley]

I've setup up a single-use key on a remote host to run rsync in server
mode.  I've also setup .ssh/config locally with an IdentityFile to
select the single-use ssh key.

This works on my Debian sid machine:

   rsync --rsh="ssh remove_host" ::

But on another machine that command (and others tried below) do not
access .ssh/config.  The machine is running these:

$ ssh -v 
OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f

$ rsync --version
rsync version 2.4.6  protocol version 24

Again, the problem seems that on this machine .ssh/config is not being
read, but only when ssh is run via rsync.  My guess is this is just a
problem with running the older rsync.  

Is that the case, and is there a workaround other than upgrading
rsync?

Here's some examples of how it's not reading my .ssh/config:


"mysqldump" is the single-use key.  You can see that rsync --rsh=ssh
isn't reading .ssh/config:

$ ls -ltu $HOME/.ssh/config /home/moseley/.ssh/mysqldump
-rw---1 moseley  users 668 Nov 11 06:45 
/home/moseley/.ssh/mysqldump
-rw-r--r--1 moseley  users     268 Nov 11 06:45 
/home/moseley/.ssh/config

$ rsync -a --rsh="ssh -F $HOME/.ssh/config -i $HOME/.ssh/mysqldump" remotehost::
unknown host: remotehost

$ ls -ltu $HOME/.ssh/config /home/moseley/.ssh/mysqldump
-rw---1 moseley  users 668 Nov 11 06:45 
/home/moseley/.ssh/mysqldump
-rw-r--r--1 moseley  users 268 Nov 11 06:45 
/home/moseley/.ssh/config


But if I use ssh directly, you can see .ssh/config is used:

$ ssh remotehost
@RSYNCD: 28
^C

$ ls -ltu $HOME/.ssh/config /home/moseley/.ssh/mysqldump
-rw---1 moseley  users 668 Nov 11 09:36 
/home/moseley/.ssh/mysqldump
-rw-r--r--1 moseley  users 268 Nov 11 09:36 
/home/moseley/.ssh/config


Other things I've tried:

  $ rsync -e ssh remotehost::
  $ rsync --rsh="ssh -i ~/.ssh/mysqldump" [EMAIL PROTECTED]::
  $ RSYNC_RSH="ssh -i ~/.ssh/mysqldump" rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::

You will need to contact Novell for support of the Novell
rsync product.

Rsync on Netware is not rsync.  Novell has modified rsync
very heavily to work on the Netware environment.  The rsync
team is unable to help with this or other modified rsync
products.

rsync2.5.6 can't find system config file

[Chris Hare]

I had rsync2.5.5 running fine ona RedHat Linux 8 system.  I downloaded the rsync2.5.6 
code and it compiled with no problems.  However, operations which worked before are 
now failing.  Here is my rsyncd.conf file

uid = nobody
gid = nobody
# use chroot = no
max connections = 4
syslog facility = local5
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd

[ftp]

comment = Movies and Video Clips

[slides]
path = /var/ftp/pub/slides
comment = Slides and Pictures (requires authentication)
auth users = chare, hawkins
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
uid = 500
gid = 500
read only = yes
list = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.0.3


Executing the command

[EMAIL PROTECTED] chare]$ rsync - 192.168.0.3::slides//

fails, whereas it worked before.  Likewise

As said, I only added the --dont-fork==--no-detach  mostly because I use it
in my scripts. (The original --dont-fork did disable just the fork() call,
not the whole become_daemon() call, so it was slightly different from
--no-detach.)

O_TEXT and O_BINARY also work on MSVC (and propably on most other windows
compilers.)

So perhaps 

#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#define TEXT O_TEXT
#define BINARY O_BINARY
#else
#define TEXT 0
#define BINARY 0
#endif

and

   fd = open(fname, O_RDONLY | TEXT)

(not sure what to call those -- "TEXT"/"BINARY" might collide with
something?)

Or is 

#if !defined(O_TEXT)
#define O_TEXT 0
#endif
#if !defined(O_BINARY)
#define O_BINARY 0
#endif

better?

I'm not sure what I was thinking back then :) (This dates back to few years
ago). Perhaps I tried "rt", but it didn't work or something. Or perhaps it
was just my thinko. It should work now with cygwin, you're right.

Ok, how about 

#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)

?

Can't you say "rt" as an fopen mode?  That works on all C platforms
that I know, and avoids the ifdef.

This seems good, though again perhaps ideally we would ifdef for "the
windows platform" rather than "cygwin".

Thanks very much,

Ok, from 2.5.2 -> 2.5.3pre1:

signal(SIGINT,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
-   signal(SIGPIPE,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
signal(SIGHUP,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
signal(SIGTERM,SIGNAL_CAST sig_int);
 
+   /* Ignore SIGPIPE; we consistently check error codes and will
+* see the EPIPE. */
+   signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);

So mainline does the same thing nowadays (the "consistently check error
codes and will see the EPIPE" was something I propably didn't do, anyway).

[PATCH] rsync on cygwin - textmode config files

[Ville Herva]

I've been running rsync-2.4.2 with an old patch of mine for some time for
backup purposes. Due to the recent remote bug, I thought it was time to
upgrade, even if the host was behind a firewall.

So I dug up the old patch (2.5.2 version attached), that I think I sent ages
ago to this list as well. It does the following:

   (1) Firstly, the only sensible way to run something as "daemon" under NT
   is to run it as service. One can use SrvAny.exe from the NT resource
   kit for this. However, as it is, rsync immediately forks another 
   process, and net stop has not desired effect, since srvany can't kill
   the rsync daemon. I added --dont-fork option so rsync can be forced 
   not to fork when run as daemon. This way starting and stopping
   services works right.

Ok. This is nowadays handled by --no-detach (I added --dont-fork for
backward compability).

   (2) Secondly, if I connect to rsync daemon from another machine and hit
   ctrl-c at the client end during transfer, the rsync daemon exists (not
   just the connection handler process, but every rsync). I guess this is
   because rsync gets sigpipe signal, which is handled by sig_int, which
   in turn sends sigusr to the parent. I have no idea why this should be.
   I changed sigpipe handler to SIG_IGN, and I now get the behaviour I
   want: if there is a network error (such as premature socket closing)
   the rysnc daemon won't die, and I can reconnect to it. I didn't do
   this cleanly: the connection handler process should in fact exit
   (perhaps after some clean up), but not the parent. This is not a
   problem, however, since the parent will reap the connection handler
   after a minute.

This I'm not sure about. Does more recent cygwin handle this better? I'll
try it without the patch and try to reproduce the bug I was seeing back
then.

   (3) Third, under CYGWIN, it makes little sense to force attribute check on
   the password file. It can be made to work if env var CYGWIN contains
   "ntea" (nt extended attribute mode -- CYGWIN emulates unix permissions
   through a hack), but frankly, it is a MAJOR pain in the ass to get 
   working especially when trying to run rsync as a NT service. Besides,
   CYGWIN permissions won't give you any added security -- the security
   should be handled with NTFS ACL's. So I added a #ifndef __CYGWIN__'s 

Perhaps this would make sense for mainline rsync as well?

   (4) Lastly, the original reason I began compiling my own version was that
   I had a binary version that did not force binary open (I got corrupted
   .doc files etc in the transmission.) I found out that the mainline
   rsync source (as of 2.4.2) already has that O_BINARY bit in do_open,
   so no problem here. It works without, if you mount everything with -b
   (binary) in CYGWIN or force that with "set CYGWIN=BINMODE", but 
   O_BINARY is the (most) correct way to do it -- it works regardless how
   the user has mounted his filesystems. However, if the mounts are
   binary, the configuration files are not read right: if, for example,
   the user makes a password file with notepad, he'll get an additional
   CR into the password (due to missing CR/LF->LF conversion). So I added
   open(O_TEXT) forcing to every config file open (#ifdef CYGWIN'ed, of
   course). Now the users shouldn't have to worry about mount types.

And this as well?

I contacted rsync cygwin mnaintainer (Lapo Luchini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), and he
suggested to forward (3) and (4) to rsync mailing list, so here they are.
The patch attached is against 2.5.2 and includes (3) and (4).

Re: Bug in rsyncd 2.5.0 while handling config file string values

[tim . conway]

Well, that's a bug, I'd reckon, but i want to point out that a config file 
with only one line is invalid.  you need to have at least a module and its 
path defined.  I wouldn't expect daemon mode to gracefully handle an 
invalid config, though simply declaring that the file is invalid and 
exiting would be nice.

Mainly security.   If you don't protect the writes with a password, anybody
on your network can write to it.  It doesn't have any host-spoofing
protection like SSH does.

Also, the rsync daemon mode was designed primarily for anonymous read
access like a web server and in general doesn't do very well on writes. 
It doesn't report most error messages to the client.  You have to change
all kinds of defaults in order to let it write.  People have reported
trouble with preservation of user and group ids.

It doesn't look familiar to me.  Are you perhaps transferring some very
large files (>2GB)?  If not, perhaps the protocol is getting out of sync.

Dave,
Thanks much.  Up and running & logging successfully with rsync in daemon
mode.

One general question - what's the benefit of using rsh/ssh as transport
versus using rsync in daemon mode?

Also , I've received a error similar to the following multiple times --
what might this be indicative of?
   Invalid file index -324461374 (count=32262)

Thanks again.

If you use a single colon for "SERVERB:", you are using the default rsh
mode and not the daemon mode.  Can you rsh as root from SERVERA to
SERVERB?  To talk to the daemon, you use "SERVERB::".  If you can use rsh,
I think it would probably be better to do that and just forget about the
daemon.

There are known problems with verbose mode causing hanging in rsync 2.4.6;
try it without to see if that helps.  I'm not familiar with AIX; perhaps
there's an additional problem with rsync on that operating system.  Rsync
does tend to drive TCP very hard and has revealed bugs in several vendors'
implementations.

If you do intend to write to the rsync daemon, you will at least need to
add
uid = root
gid = root
read only = no

When you set "log file" in rsyncd.conf, syslog is completely bypassed so
there's no need to put a line in syslog.conf.

There's nothing else because you're not connecting to the daemon.

When you set "log file" in rsyncd.conf, syslog is completely bypassed so
there's no need to put a line in syslog.conf.

There's nothing else because you're not connecting to the daemon.

I've wished for that too (and I'm no rsync newbie :-)).

Multiple questions (rsync hangs, logging config, etc.)

[pbellamy]

I'm new to rsync and I'm trying to use rsync-2.4.6 to sync web content
between 2 AIX (4.3.3.0) boxes (from SERVERA to SERVERB).

I've gone through the man pages for rsync and rsyncd.conf, searched the web
site and browsed several months worth of the mailing list, but I still
can't figure out which end is up.

I've had rsync working successfully on a small scale replicate some test
directories (100+ files in 10 directories).

Now that I'm trying to run rsync to replicate 32000+ at once, I'm having
several problems.

I initiate rsync with the following script from SERVERA:
   ==> cat /opt/rysnc/sync.sh
   /opt/rsync/rsync --rsh=/usr/bin/rsh --rsync-path=/opt/rsync/rsync
   --delete --timeout=0 --progress --verbose
   --exclude-from=/opt/rsync/exclude.dat --delete-excluded --recursive
   --links --hard-links --perms --owner --group --times /www/www.xyz.com/
   SERVERB:/www/www.xyz.com
   ==>

My /opt/rsync/exclude.dat file is as follows:
   ==>cat exclude.dat
   - /logs/
   - /logs/*
   ==>

1)  Running rsync as root, rsync appears to hang, as follows.
   ==>./sync.sh
   building file list ... done
   ^C
   ==>

Sometimes the rsync ends with an error message (but I haven't found any
reference to all of the various error codes and what they mean. Can someone
point me in the right direction?)

2) How do I configure logging correctly?

I initiate rsync as a daemon on SERVERB as follows:
   ==> /opt/rsync/rsync --daemon

I have the rsyncd.conf on SERVERB as follows:
   ==>cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
   # /etc/rsyncd.conf
   log file = /var/adm/rsync.log
   use chroot = no
   max connections = 1
   pid file = /etc/rsync.pid
   transfer logging = true
   [www]
   path = /www
   comment = WWW Content
   strict modes = true
   root@SERVERB:/
   ==>

My /etc/syslog.conf contains the following line:
   daemon.debug,info,notice  /var/adm/rsync.log

The only thing that appears in this log is:
   ==>tail -f /var/adm/rsync.log
   2001/06/14 14:49:57 [30764] rsyncd version 2.4.6 starting
   2001/06/14 16:08:44 [29374] rsyncd version 2.4.6 starting

3) Wouldn't a search engine for the mailing list archives be a valuable
addition?   Especilly for newbies like myself?

Yeah, that's what it says. This is a great utility, and maybe it only
doesn't work that way because I'm using it with ssh? See my earlier messages
about how this does not work as the man page says it does. This is obviously
a ymmv issue, and my gas tank has a leak. Still hoping someone has a
workaround, or is trying to fix this.

Just a directory named /progs (/proc, /dev, /mnt).  Man page sez:

   o  if the pattern starts with a / then it  is  matched
  against  the start of the filename, otherwise it is
  matched against the  end  of  the  filename.   Thus
  "/foo"  would match a file called "foo" at the base
  of the tree.  On the other hand, "foo" would  match
  any  file called "foo" anywhere in the tree [...]

   o  if the pattern ends with a  /  then  it  will  only
  match a directory, not a file, link or device.

HTH!

Simple config question

[john]

Having a bit of trouble understanding the "exclude" option for the rsyncd 
daemon
Does my example below exclude the /proc /dev /mnt and /progs from the root 
directory "/"
or would it also exclude a directory of the same name if it is within the 
tree I want to back up?

rsync -ca --delete --exclude "/proc/" --exclude "/dev/" --exclude 
"/mnt/"  --exclude "/progs/" [EMAIL PROTECTED]::gates /data/gates

To clarify, would the above example exclude /progsand also/data/progs/
or just the /progs directory from the root?
Thanks!
