I browsed the web and the archive, and apart from someone asking whether anyone else had rsync problems after installing OpenSSH 3.4, I came up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction to debug this? I've got over 50 GB to keep in sync, and don't know of another elegant way to do it.
Environment: source system = bb: - Linux version 2.4.7-10smp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)) - OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f - rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26 target system = tobias: - Linux version 2.4.17 (root@www-100) (gcc version 2.95.4 (Debian prerelease)) - OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x00906 - rsync version 2.5.6cvs protocol version 2603f Neither system uses an rsync daemon. Here's the command and the resulting error: bb> ls -l ccf.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 bbuser bbuser 46 Jul 2 12:02 ccf.txt bb> echo $RSYNC_SSH /usr/local/bin/rsync -i /home/bbuser/.ssh/bbcom-id-dsa bb> rsync -a ccf.txt bbcom@tobias:/www2/virtualhosts/toledo/bbcom/ tobias.cc.kuleuven.ac.be: Connection refused unexpected EOF in read_timeout ssh by itself works as expected: bb> ssh -i ~/.ssh/bbcom-id-dsa -l bbcom tobias cat /www2/virtualhosts/toledo/bbcom/t.txt Hello from tobias bb> ssh -i ~/.ssh/bbcom-id-dsa -l bbcom tobias date Tue Oct 1 15:49:21 CEST 2002 And scp proves I can write in the target directory as well: bb> scp -i ~/.ssh/bbcom-id-dsa ccf.txt bbcom@tobias:/www2/virtualhosts/toledo/bbcom/ ccf.txt 100% |*****************************| 46 00:00 Any help greatly appreciated.
