I have setup Rsync as a daemon on a Ubuntu 10.04 box and the setup was successful. Here are my configs Code: root@hurricane:`# nano /etc/default/rsync # defaults file for rsync daemon mode # start rsync in daemon mode from init.d script? # only allowed values are "true", "false", and "inetd" # Use "inetd" if you want to start the rsyncd from inetd, # all this does is prevent the init.d script from printing a message # about not starting rsyncd (you still need to modify inetd's config yourself). RSYNC_ENABLE=inetd # which file should be used as the configuration file for rsync. # This file is used instead of the default /etc/rsyncd.conf # Warning: This option has no effect if the daemon is accessed # using a remote shell. When using a different file for # rsync you might want to symlink /etc/rsyncd.conf to # that file. # RSYNC_CONFIG_FILE= # what extra options to give rsync --daemon? # that excludes the --daemon; that's always done in the init.d script # Possibilities are: # --address=123.45.67.89 (bind to a specific IP address) # --port=8730 (bind to specified port; default 873) RSYNC_OPTS='' # run rsyncd at a nice level? # the rsync daemon can impact performance due to much I/O and CPU usage, # so you may want to run it at a nicer priority than the default priority. # Allowed values are 0 - 19 inclusive; 10 is a reasonable value. RSYNC_NICE='' # run rsyncd with ionice? # "ionice" does for IO load what "nice" does for CPU load. # As rsync is often used for backups which aren't all that time-critical, # reducing the rsync IO priority will benefit the rest of the system. # See the manpage for ionice for allowed options. # -c3 is recommended, this will run rsync IO at "idle" priority. Uncomment # the next line to activate this. # RSYNC_IONICE='-c3' # Don't forget to create an appropriate config file, # else the daemon will not start.

How do I automate the file sync? 1. Have it to auto login; without asking for the password 2. schedule sync like hourly Heres some progress, I am now learning OpenSSH Keys so that I can setup auto login. Will let you know the progress.
My ubuntu 10.04 box cannot resolve to its host name hurricane.thunzicn.com but it works with the IP address and hurricane.local Code: root@dalitso:/home/martin# rsync -avz -e ssh [email protected]:/home/all2 /home/martin/all2/ ssh: Could not resolve hostname hurricane.thunzicon.com: Name or service not known Code: root@dalitso:/home/martin# rsync -avz -e ssh jhbs@hurricane:/home/all2 /home/martin/all2/ The authenticity of host 'hurricane (192.168.1.100)' can't be established.
