Public bug reported: `cat /etc/lsb-release`
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 11.04" `apt-cache policy cobbler` cobbler: Installed: 2.1.0-0ubuntu7 Candidate: 2.1.0-0ubuntu7 Version table: *** 2.1.0-0ubuntu7 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Expected: In order to make use of the cobbler replicate feature to sync between two cobbler servers, Cobbler is supposed to generate a usable /etc/rsyncd.conf file based on /etc/cobbler/rsyncd.template. A fresh install of Cobbler does not generate this file at all on an Ubuntu system. I don't run RHEL or CentOS cobbler instances so I can't confirm whether or not this is Ubuntu specific though. What Happens: The documentation for cobbler says that the Rsync ops should be handled over SSH or scp, but this is not the case at all as it tries to connect to the non-existent Rsync server on the master when trying to sync, which fails. Workaround: Manually building the config for rsyncd.conf using the template as a guide works without issue it just appears that cobbler never tries to generate it during `cobbler sync` or a restart of cobbler. ** Affects: cobbler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809218 Title: Cobbler should generate a usable /etc/rsyncd.conf file but doesn't To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/809218/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
