I'm using this version of rsyncd: [ebuild R ] net-misc/rsync-2.6.0-r3 -acl -build -debug -static 0 kB I followed the local rsync mirror guide from here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=181366 or here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=180336 or here http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror this is my /etc/conf.d/rsyncd: # Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-misc/rsync/files/rsyncd.conf.d,v 1.3 2004/07/15 00:11:37 agriffis Exp $ # Config file for /etc/init.d/rsyncd # see man pages for rsync or run `rsync --help` # for valid cmdline options #RSYNC_OPTS="" uid = nobody gid = nobody use chroot = yes #limit access to private LAN's hosts allow=160.129.14.0/255.255.255.0 hosts deny=* max connections = 5 pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid motd file = /etc/rsync/rsyncd.motd #This will give you a separate log file #log file = /var/log/rsync.log #This will log every file transferred - up to 85,000+ per user, per sync #transfer logging = yes log format = %t %a %m %f %b syslog facility = local3 timeout = 300 #If you need this, UPGRADE portage please! #[gentoo-x86-portage] #this entry is for compatibility #path = /usr/portage #comment = Gentoo Linux Portage tree #exclude=distfiles/ [gentoo-portage] #modern versions of portage use this entry path = /usr/portage comment = Gentoo Linux Portage tree mirror exclude = distfiles/ when I run /etc/init.d/rsyncd start (or stop or restart) i get these errors: /sbin/runscript.sh: line 10: uid: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 11: gid: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 12: use: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 15: hosts: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 16: hosts: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 18: max: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 19: pid: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 20: motd: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 28: log: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 29: syslog: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 30: timeout: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 39: [gentoo-portage]: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 41: path: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 42: comment: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 43: exclude: command not found ..the server starts (or stops according to my command) but I can't connect to it from another box. I checked netstat -anlp | grep tcp and it is running. I tried both the /etc/init.d/rsyncd script from those webpages and the one that comes with the rsync ebuild (its slightly newer) but both give the same errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow the gentoo local rsync guide (just google for gentoo local rsync) 2. start rsyncd /etc/init.d/rsyncd start Actual Results: I get the following errors, and i cannot connect to the rsyncd server from another computer within the allowed host range: /sbin/runscript.sh: line 10: uid: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 11: gid: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 12: use: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 15: hosts: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 16: hosts: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 18: max: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 19: pid: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 20: motd: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 28: log: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 29: syslog: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 30: timeout: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 39: [gentoo-portage]: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 41: path: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 42: comment: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 43: exclude: command not found Expected Results: It should not have displayed those runscript.sh errors, it should be able to read the /etc/conf.d/rsyncd.conf, and then it should properly start the server so that I can connect other computers to the rsyncd server.
sorry the file needs to be /etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf ..my bad..
