Thanks for the reply. I did see this on the to-do list, and thought that it might be a preferable solution (just a bit more work). It would be messy to do the xargs stuff as I am running rsync over ssh with restricted commands based upon keys :-) Questions: 1. Is the proposed solution in the

Re: am I missing something, or are permissions always preserved?

2003-01-07 Thread Dave Dykstra
That sounds reasonable to me that rsync shouldn't try to preserve those extra bits without -p. Try making a patch and seeing if that works. I don't have Samba set up, but on a vfat filesystem on Linux rsync is doing even worse because after the initial file creation it does a "fchmod(fd, 0600)" w

In the development version of rsync now in CVS, ssh and daemon mode can be used together by using '-e ssh' along with '::'. That is probably just what Rob needs, please check it out/test it. The documentation has been updated to describe putting a ssh wrapper key to to restrict rsync operations t

Even though rsync maintenance isn't as bad as wget's, the maintainers are all VERY part time so that is a big part of the problem. Most of us don't have ipv6 systems to test things on. Can you vouch for the quality of the patch? I was able to get it with wget --passive ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6

I would object to that because it would change existing functionality (emulating GNU cp) and isn't general enough. We've discussed a possible general manipulation of permissions; see http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-March/006477.html Alternatively, you could process the output of t

Re: restricting rsync over ssh on the server side.

2003-01-07 Thread Bennett Todd
This has been discussed before. The only way to restrict what rsync-over-ssh can do is to lodge the restriction in the authorized_keys command= field, restricting what command a given key can run. For a single rsync invocation it's easy to figure out: just set up command=/path/to/wrapper

That indeed is not right, and it appears that other people have noticed the problem before but nobody has come up with a fix. The problem must be related to the unsafe_symlink() function in util.c. Martin noticed a strange thing in the code (see http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-April/0
