I am having a bit of a problem with rsync 2.6.2 on AIX and I was wondering if this might just be the expected behavior. When using the -o and -g flags, the user and group names are NOT preserved on the receiving side, however, the UIDs/GIDs are preserved. I checked the OLDNEWS file and bugzilla,

I have another small feature suggestion, it should not cause such a stir as the whole "file list" issue (I kind of wish I never said anything about it :) ). What about adding a "UMASK" setting to rsync (for use on the command line and/or perhaps rsyncd.conf)? I realize that it may be a proble

rsync is just doing what your are telling it to do. Update if the file is changed or does not exist on the remote side and delete if it no longer exists on the local side. The directory may have a newer timestamp, but you are doing a recursive put so it has to check all the files and dirs und

2003-01-13 Thread Aaron Morris
I do not believe there is a way to turn encryption off, however, you might be able to use "blowfish" (or DES, if possible) as a cipher instead of "3DES" which is much slower (and the default for SSH2 in OpenSSH). Also, make sure you are not using compression in rsync or ssh, since it will incr

Re: restricting rsync over ssh on the server side.

2003-01-05 Thread Aaron Morris
I do not think you can use it with ssh, but if you use rsync in rsync mode (::) instead of just an interface to rsh (:), you can limit the directories where you can transfer files (using modules). This involves setting up the rsync daemon on the server side. The rsync daemon has the ability t

I usually use rsync 2.5.4 on AIX and compression is not enabled by default. 2.5.5 may be different. Another important option would be to use "-u" since it would only transfer a file if it has changed (even if it is in the file list). wim delvaux wrote: On Saturday 04 January 2003 19

You did not specifically mention it: compression (-z) would probably help more than anything. Otherwise, you could do something like: Have a file (ie filelist.txt) that contains the filename (with relative paths), one file per line. rsync -rRWz `cat filelist.txt` user@hostname::module The on
