Hi Michal,

We haven't done any changes on servers or lan. rsync was working fine till yesterday afternoon. But after that as of a sudden it is giving error. Kindly let me know if your require more information regarding the same.

Hi Mikap,

This is how the rsync is being called in the shell script.

/usr/local/bin/rsync -acrp -e "remsh" :/

I think it is remsh, hope I am correct as I don't know much about ssh is being used or not.

Thanks and Regards

hi you are using remsh, check rhost configuration file.

Hi Mikap,

Under .rhosts configuration I have entries of other servers from where we are copying the files. But still we are having problems. Let me know for more information.

Hi Mikap,

Kindly find the attached inetd.conf where remsh is existing in the file. I hope this is the correct entry. Please let me know whether this is correct or not.

Thanks and Regards

[Michal Kapalka (mikap)]

hi,

yes the entries should be correct.

did you try to use rlogin to check if you are able to connect ??

or executing other command
remsh date for example.

Hi Mikap,

It is happening from both server to and from. Its very strange that rsync error is coming after all everything seems to be ok.

Anything I can check.

Did you do that basic remsh check?

[bharath_hanuma]

Hi Steven,

I have checked the same it is executing from both the servers without any errors.

Kindly let me know how I can troubleshoot this, as this is urgent.

Bharath,
Check if your r services are running:
- check /etc/services remshd should not be hashed.
- if hashed removed and do /sbin/init.d/inetd stop /sbin/init.d/inetd start ,
- check again. First check with a remsh or rlogin to the other server it should prompt for password. If that work rsync will work

Cheers,
Raj.
