Yes, but can you do an nslookup on the IP and get the hostname? If not, rsync won't accept it. There are several options that will fix this: - Fix the DNS setup so that it keeps the reverse-DNS in sync with the forward-DNS. - Get someone to modify the DHCP setup at your office to map your system's MAC address to a constant IP address. - Periodically update the rsync.conf file with the latest IP number from an nslookup of the hostname (which the running rsync daemon will honor, since it re-reads the config file whenever a new connection comes in). - Switch over to using an ssh connection for the copy. > 2. Rsync is not logging to /var/log/rsyncd.log. Your config file doesn't define "log file", just "syslog facility". Either you need to modify the syslog setup to put local3 into that file, or tell rsync to use the file directly via the "log file" option. > I would also like to know how to set the protections to 777 on the > files/dirs that I create on my rsync mirror. If you want more permissive permissions than the source files, there's no way to get rsync to do that for you -- the closest you can come is to leave off the --perms option and manually expand the permissions of newly transferred files (updates to existing files will retain the destination's permissions). See also the patches/chmod-option.diff file in the rsync distribution for an option that lets you force pemission bits. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
