I've had problems with rsync on disk-disk transfers if I use the -v option. Try it again without -v. --Yan "M. Drew Streib" wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 05, 2001 at 11:38:22AM -0400, Randy Kramer wrote: > > However, I guess I wasn't very clear, the point of touching the local > > file was to create

rsync with mtime=1 or 0?

2001-04-06 Thread Jeff Mandel
I'm trying to create a nearline archive. I don't have another volume big enough to hold a full backup of the master volume, so I can't compare the change set in the usual way. I would just like to get whatever was modified in the last day - like the results of a find -mtime 1 (or 0) would give. S

2001-04-06 Thread David Salisbury
Is there a way to have rsync not prompt for a password. I've tried using .shosts and also the authorized_keys files, but neither seem to work. Is there anyway to modify the rsh or ssh commands that rsync uses? I don't know the password of the user that rsync will need to run under, though I ca

Might there be a good set of tutorials on the web on how to do this while minimizing the risk of exposing systems as a consequence? (setup of private/public identity files that minimize the risk of hackers getting passwordless access to other remote machines). I must admit hating the passwordl

Lachlan, Excuse me for jumping into this discussion, especially being something of a newbie. As I understand ssh without passwords, it is very secure because it is based on a public / private key scheme, something like PGP. When you set up a passwordless ssh system, you create a public and priv

Hi Randy (and rsync list), (Before waffling on a side tracked issue - there is still a request for good web based passwordless ssh tutorials) I must apologise as usual for poor elaboration of my paranoia against passwordless ssh. I roughly agree with your assessment. However, the thing that
