Hi, Until now we have been using rsync with SSH for copying data across different sites. They are bundled within wrappers and are circulated thru' cronjobs. All the sites exchange data in this way. It is working fine in all the sites, but except for 1 site. It transfers the files fine, but it changes the permissions on the files. It does'nt retain it as per the source nor as per the umask setting of the destination.
Curiously, whatever be the file permission it masks the group and users to 00 and retains the perm for owner. For ex: If the source has perm 555, when it reaches the destination in question, it becomes 500. If the source has perm 755, when it reaches destination in question, it becomes 700. However, If we add the -p bit to rsync, it's retaining the permissions. But the question is, Till now it was working fine. And, this is happening to only one hosts among a list of 10 hosts. The command we are using is; ================================================================ rsync --inplace --partial --no-whole-file --rsync-path="/usr/bin/rsync" -e ssh "/localhome/adm/rsync.test" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/rsync.test" -vvv option o/p: opening connection using ssh <hostname> -l msctrans /usr/bin/rsync --server -vvv --inplace . mscdir/receive/1.SSH [sender] make_file(1.SSH,*,2) server_recv(2) starting pid=1424 send_file_list done send_files starting recv_file_name(1.SSH) received 1 names recv_file_list done get_local_name count=1 mscdir/receive/1.SSH recv_files(1) starting generator starting pid=1424 count=1 delta-transmission enabled recv_generator(mscdir/receive/1.SSH,0) send_files(0, /var/opt/ei/msc/transmit/1.SSH) send_files mapped /var/opt/ei/msc/transmit/1.SSH of size 0 calling match_sums /var/opt/ei/msc/transmit/1.SSH 1.SSH sending file_sum false_alarms=0 tag_hits=0 matches=0 sender finished /var/opt/ei/msc/transmit/1.SSH generate_files phase=1 send_files phase=1 recv_files(mscdir/receive/1.SSH) got file_sum finishing mscdir/receive/1.SSH recv_files phase=1 generate_files phase=2 send_files phase=2 send files finished total: matches=0 tag_hits=0 false_alarms=0 data=0 recv_files phase=2 generate_files phase=3 recv_files finished generate_files finished sent 82 bytes received 42 bytes 22.55 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 _exit_cleanup(code=0, file=main.c, line=789): about to ca ============================================================ If I use -p or -a it works fine. But I want to know, what was working all this time is not working now and it involves to be changed across different sites. It would be of great help, if any of you can guide me thru' this. Thanks in Advance, Vasuamthi
