RE: rsync

[Martinez, Michael - CSREES/ISTM]

I would not use rsync or any of the rhosts stuff because it is not secure. I would use openssh.   Michael Martinez System Administrator Information Systems and Technology Management CSREES - United States Department of Agriculture (202) 720-6223 -----Original Message----- From: Gary Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2002 10:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: rsync Dear all,   Thanks!

Both are 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2-2. For example, I would like rsync the file from server A to server B.   In server A: [gary@serverA gary]$ rsync ipass:/home/gary/abc.txt /tmp/def.txt Permission denied. unexpected EOF in read_timeout   In server B, I tried to see the /var/log/messages and below is the log message: Nov  4 10:46:40 serverB pam_rhosts_auth[29940]: denied to gary@serverA as gary: .rh osts writable by group Nov  4 10:46:40 serverB in.rshd[29940]: rsh denied to gary@serverA as gary: Permiss ion denied.   Gary
