I am attempting to utilize the exclude from option in my rsync configuration
file (rather than maintain lists on users machines) but it does not appear to
be working.
One example, I placed *.mp3 in the file to keep them from syncing mp3 files to
the server and jamming up space. But rsync just seems to ignore this and
syncs the files anyway without any errors to the syslog.
All of my configurations are in /etc
Here is rsyncd.conf
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
max connections = 2
use chroot = yes
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /arch1/sync/rsync.log
[test]
path = /arch1/sync/paul
list = false
read only = false
uid = 900
gid = 900
exclude from = /etc/rsyncd.excludes
auth users = paul
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
hosts allow = 192.168.10.10
---------------------
And file permissions
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 355 Apr 26 11:21 /etc/rsyncd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344 Apr 26 10:20 /etc/rsyncd.excludes
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 242 Apr 26 10:36 /etc/rsyncd.motd
-rw------- 1 root root 14 Apr 26 10:34 /etc/rsyncd.secrets
I've looked around the web and archives for an answer, so now I turn to you.
Any suggestions are welcome.
