Hi,
I am trying to solve a problem that i have ignored for quite a long time. The
issue is that "messages" are flooded with rsync permission errors, and that
some files are not backed up properly. What I have found so far is the
following:
- rsyncd is running as "root"
Check your rsyncd.conf file. For example, one of my rsyncd.conf files
starts with:
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
so that rsync changes its effective uid to 'nobody' before doing
anything. This is pretty common since rsyncd is often used in
evironments with untrusted users.
On another rsyncd.conf file which is used to successfully transfer ssh
private key files, I am using
uid = root
gid = root
