Well, it's definitely not in either of the man pages - and those should be the canonical documentation of rsync's behavior. But it's a small bug (with big teeth!). Corey Stup wrote: > pyxl wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> Tripped over a documentation bug. I

documentation bug for --daemon "use chroot" in conjunction with -oand -g

2002-06-24 Thread pyxl
Hi all, Tripped over a documentation bug. I'm guessing the behavior I've found isn't a bug in itself as it's kind of implied by chroot (unless the /etc/passwd db is read *before* you do the chroot call), so I'm calling it a documentation bug. The Setup: System A: running rsync --daemon fro

rsync 2.5.5 and exclude

2002-05-13 Thread pyxl
As Dave noted in a response to an earlier message with his statement that he's updated the documentation to note the unidirectional behavior of exclude filtering, my saying that the exclude behavior with --delete is a bug is definitely wrong. The behavior is (wisely) designed in. Just wante

rsync 2.5.5 and the exclude directive - additional behavior

2002-05-13 Thread pyxl
And, I've found more. It turns out that even though the exclude directive is ignored for inbound data in rsyncd.conf, it is NOT ignored for the --delete option. I've seen this behavior occur when I've deleted a file from the sending side (client) that is inside a tree that's matched by the se

Hi folks, me again. I'm writing this primarily so that it will get posted to a listserve archive and snarfed up by Google for future people's note. When using the exclude directive in rsyncd.conf (i.e. using rsync from inetd), I've found that it appears to be implemented to operate in one dat

Possible exclude bug in 2.5.5 in rsyncd.conf

2002-05-10 Thread pyxl
Hello all, I've found some behavior in 2.5.5 that is contrary to the documentation in the man page. Specifically, I'm running an rsync server (i.e. from inetd with --daemon),and in the module definition I'm specifying the line "exclude nosyncdir". The documentation for rsyncd.conf indicates

Howdy everybody, Dunno if anyone's got a log monitor or mailing script set up for 404 errors on rsync.samba.org, but http://rsync.samba.org/rsync/fom-serve/cache/1.html emits a 404. It's where the the FAQ-O-Matic nav link that's found throughout the site eventually sends the browser. Sorry ab
