I use rsync to keep a directory in synchronization betwen a Linux box with the hostname brutal and a Mac running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) with the hostname cooper. When I run the following command on my Linux machine:
rsync -avz --delete myuserid@cooper:/Library/WebServer/Documents /Library/WebServer/Documents
It works perfectsly, it mirrors exactly what I have on the Mac into the same directory structure. However, when I run the following command on my Mac:
It does begin to synchronize, but it always creates a new Documents directory under the structure I provided and ignores what is already there. So I get something that like this.
Why is this working differently and are there any suggestions. I believe even if I tried synchronizing using the following command I still encountered the exact same behavior.
All,
After a power loss I went to power on our sun fire v120 that is running solaris 10 and now it will not boot. I tried power cycling it from the lom and pulling the cord but nothing works. All it does is after a power cycle it will start to boot and then start to spit out a bunch of hex... (2 Replies)
I met a problem in using grep -P.
There is a text file, temp.txt, whose content is:
dddd
abc
I ran the command:
grep -P "\s*abc" temp.txt
The result I expected is:
abc
But, the actual result is:
dddd
abc
Could anyone tell me what is wrong?
Thanks. (2 Replies)

Hi there,
I am a bit puzzled by a weird behavior of Vi. I very simply would like to add increased numbers in some files. Since I have many thousands entries per file and many files, I would like to macro it in vi.
To do this, I enter the first number ("0001") on the first line and then yank... (4 Replies)

rsync_selinux(8) rsync Selinux Policy documentation rsync_selinux(8)NAME
rsync_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rsync daemon
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rsync server via flexible mandatory access control.
FILE_CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Policy governs the access daemons have to these files. If
you want to share files using the rsync daemon, you must label the files and directories public_content_t. So if you created a special
directory /var/rsync, you would need to label the directory with the chcon tool.
chcon -t public_content_t /var/rsync
To make this change permanent (survive a relabel), use the semanage command to add the change to file context configuration:
semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/rsync(/.*)?"
This command adds the following entry to /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:
/var/rsync(/.*)? system_u:object_r:publix_content_t:s0
Run the restorecon command to apply the changes:
restorecon -R -v /var/rsync/
SHARING FILES
If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and pub-
lic_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the pub-
lic_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean. allow_DOMAIN_anon_write. So for rsync you would execute:
setsebool -P allow_rsync_anon_write=1
BOOLEANS
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
