Hello,
[ please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed here. ] we were bitten by another rsync bug of the same nature as was discussed in http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-May/007399.html alexm@rack8:~$ rsync -az -e ssh rack6.domain.ru:/etc/passwd /var/tmp/forbiden-dir/ mkstemp .passwd.oPlFQm failed: Permission denied alexm@rack8:~$ echo $? 0 So our scripts wreak havoc. However, patch suggested by Dave Dykstra, http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-February/006371.html helps: alexm@rack8:~$ rsync -az -e ssh rack6.domain.ru:/etc/passwd /var/tmp/forbidden-dir/ mkstemp .passwd.2lGEBO failed: Permission denied rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(925) alexm@rack8:~$ echo $? 23 I do not know about consequences of that patch, but it certainly fixes last of the four bug we have stumped on (three of them seem to be eliminated in 2.5.5). I believe it would be great to apply the patch or to fix the problem in some other way (in that case I'd be glad to test it). Thanks, especially to Dave once again, --alexm -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
