Nevertheless, you can easily run an rsync daemon. Debian sets it up automatically for you - you just have to change the RSYNC_ENABLE tag in /etc/default/rsync You also need an /etc/rsyncd.conf file, but these are exceptionally easy to create - here is mine - as you can see to provide remote access to backup areas. (Note also the unsafe uid change is access to the [roo] backup areas) I have even set it up as a service on windows 2000 using cygwin - so I can access this machine for backup. # $Log: rsyncd.conf,v $ # Revision 1.4 2002/09/27 22:17:50 alan # Reverting to 1.2 # 27 Jul 2004 AKC Added piglet and eeyore backup areas # syslog facility = daemon uid = backup gid = backup hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 timeout = 600 read only = false [rabbit] path = /bak/rabbit comment = work computer (rabbit) backup area [pooh] path = /bak/pooh comment = pooh backup area [piglet] path = /bak/piglet comment = piglet backup area [eeyore] path = /bak/eeyore comment = eeyore backup area [archive] path = /bak/archive comment = backup of kangers archive [roo] path = /bak/roo comment = roo backup area uid = root -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
