Hello list, I am trying to setup a password on my local rsync portage mirror. This is what I have done thus far:
On the server: 1. Added "secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.users" and "auth users = portage" to /etc/rsyncd.conf in the appropriate places. 2. Placed "portage:notmypassword" in /etc/rsyncd.users 3. /etc/init.d/rsyncd restart On the client: 1. Added RSYNC_OPTIONS="--password-file=/etc/portage/rsync.user" to /etc/make.conf. 2. Modified SYNC in make.conf to include the user: SYNC="rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/gentoo-portage" 3. echo 'notmypassword' >/etc/portage/rsync.user Now, I type "emerge --sync" and I get prompted for a password (if I were to make a guess, it's that the variable "RSYNC_OPTIONS" is not referenced by portage). Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way to do this? Thanks, Robert Larson -- gentoo-security@gentoo.org mailing list
