Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up an rsync server for backups over the WAN for about 25 servers. I have been doing fine with the backups, if I am using the user root as my way to push the data from the clients to the rsync server. When I try and use any other user besides root, I get the error on the server saying @ERROR:failed to open lock file.
I looked at the man pages for rsync 2.6.6, and it states to use the -e "ssh -l "userid" " option but I am still getting errors. Here's my layout.
From the client this is what I am running
/usr/local/bin/rsync --partial --progress --stats -vvvvan -e "ssh -l userid" /directory rsync-user@"server ip address"::"module name"
I get connection and I am able to login but that's it. I get the following error on the client side:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=434): entered
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=434): about to call exit(12)
here's my /etc/rsyncd.conf on the rsync server
transfer logging = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
use chroot = no
max connections = 4
address = 10.210.4.64
[es0028]
path = /pc1/snapshot/hourly.0/infermos/
read >
comment = es0028 backup
I am running the server on the command line with /usr/local/bin/rsync --daemon --config /etc/rsyncd.conf , and I made the ssh user home dir /etc just to test. So it can see rsyncd.conf. Still befuddled at this point.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
