I am setting up rsync to copy files from one computer on my network to
another. It works great when I run the command as root on the client
machine to copy over my home directory:
rsync -avzr gnielson@nielson::home/gnielson /home/mirror/gnielson
but when I try to copy over my entire home directory to my client machine
as root, running:
rsync -avzr root@nielson::home /home/mirror/gnielson
I get Permission denied errors when rsync opens directories or attempts to
read links, even in the gnielson home dir I could successfsully do the
previous way.
Is there something wrong with my configuration on my server machine?
Here is my rsyncd.conf file:
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
[home]
hosts allow = 192.168.8.15/255.255.0.0
hosts deny = *
comment = My Own Rsync Server
max connections =4
path = /home
comment = home dirs
read only = yes
list = yes
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
my rsyncd.secrets file contains:
gnielson:password
root:password
I thought that by including the root password in my secrets file I would
be able to copy files across many home dirs, logged on as root on the
client machine?
