Easy rsync question: to try to learn a bit of rsync, I am setting up katri (netbsd box) as my rsync server (where I would sync to) and kushana (Solaris 9 box) as the machine I will be syncing from. BTW, both are in my LAN and their respective /etc/hosts know their names, with or withoug the domain part. So, in katri, I have:
katri# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf motd file = /etc/motd max connections = 25 syslog facility = local3 [tmp] comment = temporary file area path = /tmp read only = no list = yes hosts allow = kushana auth users = raub secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets katri# cat /etc/rsyncd.secrets raub:pogoland katri# <The password here is just something to get me going; I can change it to something better down the line =) > I also added rsync to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf: katri# grep rsync /etc/services rsync 873/tcp # Rsync server katri# grep rsync /etc/inetd.conf rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon katri# But, just to be paranoid, I decided to run it manually in server mode: katri# ps aux | grep rsync root 8610 4.8 1.5 372 616 ?? Ss 11:00AM 0:00.42 rsync --daemon root 8612 0.0 0.6 128 232 p0 R+ 11:00AM 0:00.17 grep rsync katri# In kushana, I created a password file, nogo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]>cat /export/home/raub/nogo pogoland [EMAIL PROTECTED]> and am going to try to move the file /export/home/raub/sync-me to katri:/tmp. This is what I did and what I got back: [EMAIL PROTECTED]>rsync -vz --password-file=/export/home/raub/nogo /export/home/raub/sync-me [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp katri.kushana.com: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) [EMAIL PROTECTED]> What I am doing wrong here? -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
