Hi Wayne, That worked thanks, now I'm getting a slightly weirder (for me) problem, if I run
/usr/local/bin/rsync -az --password-file=.secrets data.cdb [EMAIL PROTECTED]::tinydns/data.cdb from the system prompt, it works fine, if I put it inside the Makefile for the data file of tinydns I get "Makefile", line 5: Inconsistent operator for data.cdb make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue not sure if this is the best forum for this, but I can't tell if its an rsync issue or a tinydns issue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Davison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dallas Wright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 10:34 PM Subject: Re: No such file or directory - error > On Tue, Sep 09, 2003 at 08:56:50PM -0700, Dallas Wright wrote: > > /usr/local/bin/rsync -az --password-file=.secrets data.cdb [EMAIL PROTECTED]::tinydns/etc/tinydns/root/data.cdb > > Since the path is set to /etc/tinydns/root/, this command attempts to > write a file named /etc/tinydns/root/etc/tinydns/root/data.cdb.
