Next week are going to start using rsync "live" to mirror our primary and
secondary web servers. I am still trying to iron out a couple of bugs, any
help would be much apprecitated.
Here is my rsync.conf file on my primary web server
############################
use chroot = no
max connections = 5
syslog facility = local3
[www]
path = /www
comment = Web Directory
hosts allow = *.*.1.118
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = root
gid = wheel
auth users = rsyncman
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
########################################
I am calling rsyncing from my secondary machine like so..
rsync -avz rsyncman at web1::www /www
will this call mirror everything exactly like web1.. like deleting files
that were deleted, permission changes..etc. If anybody else has some input
on a better system call be kind and send it to me.
Also, what are the guidlines rysnc uses copys a file... can I go in and
change 1 char and rsync will be pick it up on the next sync?
Thanks
David
