Full Discussion: PROBLEM: RSYNC and no user password "secrets"
Operating Systems AIX PROBLEM: RSYNC and no user password "secrets" Post 302351888 by zxmaus on Thursday 10th of September 2009 01:20:21 AM
Old 09-10-2009
Hi,

I don't know anything about rsync but as far as I know AIX, if you want to authenticate passwordless / with public key authentication than rather make the public key authentication working outside rsync (exchange the public keys between the boxes) and forget about the secrets file - as far as I understand the secrets file is only used to give a password for the authentication session - what would mean a clear-text-password, not a pointer to a public key.
Your mkstemp part is very likely failing because your ulimits are not set to unlimited on the destination host for the connecting user
Hope that helps,
kind regards
zxmaus

l2tp-secrets(5) 														   l2tp-secrets(5)

NAME

       l2tp-secrets - L2TPD secrets file

DESCRIPTION

       The  l2tp-secrets  file contains challenge-response authentication information for xl2tpd, the implementation of l2tp protocol.	The format
       of the file is derived from the pap and chap secrets file format used in pppd.

       The secrets file is composed of zero or more lines with 3 fields each.  Each line represents an authentication secret.  The 3 fields repre-
       sent our hostname, the remote hostname and the secret used in the authentication process.

       The first field is for our hostname, a "*" may be used as a wildcard.

       The second field is for the remote system's hostname.  Again, a "*" may be used as a wildcard.

       The  third field is the secret used if the previous two fields match the hostnames of the systems involved.  The secret should, ideally, be
       at 16 characters long (the length of an MD5 digest output), and should probably be longer to ensure sufficient security.  There is no mini-
       mum length requirement, however.

FILES

       /etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf /etc/lx2tpd/l2tp-secrets /var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control
