As the manpage states (though probably not as well as it should), the password options are just for signing on to an rsync daemon. Ssh is prompting you for a password, and rsync does not have any options that try to control that -- you can consult the ssh docs to figure out how to setup a sign-in key or configure some kind of host-based authorization. There's even a link to a tutorial on this subject on the resources page of the rsync web site (though the site appears to be down at the moment; you can access the page through the google cache if you google for "site:www.jdmz.net ssh password" and click on the Cache link). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The file contains a single line with the password? There is newline after the password? The file is readable for the process (but not for others!) ? You could also put the password in the environment variable RSYNC_PASSWORD. Check that the environment can't be read by all users on your system.

RE: getting rsync to work +automating password line
Thanks Paul, The --rsync-path=PATH did the work. :) Is there a doc that shows all the options that comes with rsync? - when I tried #rsync --help I did not get the --rsync-path option. Finally, the next step for me is to automate rsync through crontab. But when I type rsync -a e ServerB/... I get a prompt for #password: I tried rsync with the option --password-file=/name/of/file/with/password but it still asked me for password!

getting rsync to work
Hello, I am trying to do a very simple thing, just transfer a file from machine A to machine B using rsync with ssh. This is what I'm typing: # rsync -a -e ssh serverB:/tmp/rsync/test1 n serverA:/tmp/rsync/ # password: X This is what I get: # bash: rsync: command not found # rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] # rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359) Basically it seems to go wrong after logging into the remote machine when it says "bash: rsync: command not found". rsync is definitely installed on both machines which are Solaris9 and is in the user's environment path. So I don't understand why it says "rsync: command not found"...? Any thoughts comments would be appreciated.

Re: Trouble getting rsync to work....
Need more information - the rsyncd.conf, for instance. The hosts.allow,
for another.
You're best to start off with a basic conf file, and add complications one
at a time until it breaks, then figure out what was wrong with that single
item. Running rsyncd from inetd really helps with that - each session
reads the file as it is at that moment, so testing can go really fast...
one xterm editing the file and writing it after each mod, another testing
after each mod.
Start with this:
+++start of /etc/rsyncd.conf++
[testmodule]
path = /tmp
+++end of /etc/rsyncd.conf++
Tools@willy
/etc/mail>grep rsync /etc/inetd.conf /etc/services
/etc/inetd.conf:rsync stream tcp nowait root/usr/bin/rsync
rsyncd --daemon
/etc/services:rsync 873/tcp rsyncd # rsync
daemon
Tools@willy
/etc/mail>
Don't forget to HUP your inetd after modifying services and inetd.conf

Subject:Trouble getting rsync to work
Classification:
I have read the MAN page and the Rsync page and have set up an
/etc/rsync.conf but I can't seem to get it working. I have tried starting
the
daemon and adding the correct entry on the server hosts.allow file, but I
just get "Connection refused" from the server.
Surely this can't be that difficult, but I am at a bit of a loss. Can
anyone
help?
Regards,
Brad
