I recently acquired a laptop which brings the grand total of computers at three. 1 laptop, 1 server, 1 desktop. Now the problem I want to solve is the following: Because I work on both my laptop and desktop I would like to sync data in my prj/ directory to my server. So when I logon I sync my data from to server to the computer I currently working on and when I logoff I sync the data back.
Rsync looked ready for the job but I have only a partial working system.
On the server:
/etc/rsyncd.conf
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
uid = nobody gid = backup hosts allow = 192.168.1.3, 192.168.2.3
[homesync] path = /home/xxxx/rsync/prj comment = Mijn eigen rsync server read only = no list = yes auth users = harmrsync secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt
[test] path = /tmp/test
/etc/rsync.scrt harmrsync:12345678
So far so good, if I run locally: server:/etc# rsync localhost:: This is my test Message Of The Day
homesync Mijn eigen rsync server test
Great! That appears to work, further test reveil locally a working system. But now to my desktop system, when I try to run:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ rsync --verbose --progress --recursive --stats \ --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh 192.168.1.1:test /tmp/test
Password:
receiving file list ...
rsync: link_stat "/home/harm/test" failed: No such file or directory (2)
0 files to consider
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option?
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(723)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$
This puzzles me. Why is rsync looking in the /home/harm/test directory??? I think I told it otherwise in the [test] clause in the rsyncd.conf. When I try:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ rsync --verbose --progress --recursive --stats --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh 192.168.1.1:/tmp/test /tmp/test
everything works fine again. But this is not what I want! In want only the test and homesync module to be allowed!
Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.
