Hi, I have a setup as follows: rsync config file (/var/run/ifxclm-rsyncd.conf): uid = root gid = root hosts allow = zgrlvr1a.zgr.insel.de log file = /var/log/ifxclm-rsyncd pid file = /var/run/ifxclm-rsyncd.pid log format = %h %o %f %l %b transfer logging = true use chroot = true read only = false write only = true
[drb] comment = DrB Environment path = / include from = /var/run/ifxclm-rsync-incl-drb exclude = * The include file (/var/run/ifxclm-rsync-incl-drb) looks like: - .ssh - .kde - .history - .bash_history - .LogGetan - .viminfo - .vimscripts - *.swp - /project/drb/src - /project/drb/logbuch - /project/drb/.Log* /project /project/drb /project/drb/** /project/tform /project/tform/** /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/tfmac /usr/lib/tfmac/** The rsync server is called as follows: /usr/bin/rsync --daemon --port=874 --config=/var/run/ifxclm-rsyncd.conf The client is called as follows: /usr/bin/rsync -aH --port=874 --delete -b --suffix=.ifxclm -v --include-from=/var/run/ifxclm-rsync-incl-drb --exclude '*' / zgrlvr1b::drb The include file on the client is the same as on the server. This worked fine for me at least up to rsync version 2.6.2. Now I'm trying to use this on SuSE SLES 10 which has rsync version 2.6.6 and the server rejects all files with the error message "skipping server-excluded file". If I ommit the exclude in the server config, it works. But for security reasons I want to use server side excludes and are unable to find out why it isn't working any longer as it used before.
