Error on Solaris 9 (2.5.5)

That is done by using a passprhaseless key.  It's been a common topic of 
discussion.  ssh won't take plain stdin for the password, I think. 
Somebody on the list had another agent that could handle it.  Maybe he'll 
speak up.  Of course, if you have something on your system that can give 
the passphrase to the key, and you're relying on unix permissions to keep 
people out of it, you can rely on unix permissions to keep them off your 
identity file, as well, so I recommend that you just use a passphraseless 
key, and be careful about how it's accessible.  Insisting on a passphrase 
is false security, at an administrative level, though it makes sense to 
demand it of regular users.

Thanks, Tim. I assumed that ssh was using my bash profile info. D'oh!

Have you set up an rsync command to execute through ssh using cron? If
so, how did you pass the user's password to ssh from the script?

Thanks again!

Try this commandline:

ssh vortac which rsync

You'll get "no rsync in /bin /usr/bin", probably.
Link it into something in the minimal path, or use "--rsync-path=" to 
specify where to invoke it from.

I'm running into some errors I can't figure out.

Situation:

I have a Sparc IPX (2.6 Solaris), a Mac OS X box and an Ultra Sparc 1
running Solaris 9.
I am trying to rsync a web site between the IPX and Ultra 1.
All boxes are running 2.5.5 rsync built from source.

Problem:

Can't get a a sync between the IPX -> Ultra.

IPX = kashmir
Ultra = vortac
Mac = archer
Assumptions:
a). directories are owned by me or are writeable by my group.
b). SSH must be used as Ultra is not behind a firewall and RSHELL (and
telnet) is disabled in /etc/inetd.conf.
c). no rysnc is running as daemon.
d). kashmir and archer are on the same local segment behind a firewall
which has all outbound ports open.

Examples:

This is the error I get. I get this error for *any* rsync operation I
try from kashmir to vortac:

kashmir:~> rsync -avz -e ssh /web/aviate/53sf vortac:/usr1
mikec at vortac's password:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
kashmir:~> ssh vortac ls -ld /usr1
mikec at vortac's password:
drwxrwxrwx   3 root     root         512 Aug 23 15:23 /usr1
kashmir:~> ping vortac
vortac.aviate.org is alive

So it doesn't work from kashmir->vortac, which is the direction I want
to go. It does, however, work in the other dir:

vortac:~> rsync -avz -e ssh public_html
aviate.org:/export/home/mikec/temp/tmp
mikec at aviate.org's password:
building file list ... done
public_html/
public_html/index.html
wrote 383 bytes  read 36 bytes  25.39 bytes/sec
total size is 335  speedup is 0.80

I thought at first it was kashmir that was the problem, but I am able to
initiate a sync from kashmir to my Mac:

kashmir:~> rsync -avz -e ssh myca archer:/Users/mikec/tmp
mikec at archer's password:
building file list ... done
myca/
myca/CA.pl
myca/demoCA/
[...]
myca/mail.aviate.org.pem
myca/newreq.pem
wrote 7454 bytes  read 148 bytes  50.51 bytes/sec
total size is 11967  speedup is 1.57
kashmir:~>

Archer -> Kashmir also works fine:

[archer:~/Pictures] mikec% rsync -avz -e ssh ~/Pictures
kashmir:/export/home/mikec/temp/tmp
rsync: open connection using ssh kashmir rsync --server -vlogDtprz .
/export/home/mikec/temp/tmp
mikec at kashmir's password:
rsync: building file list...
rsync: 4218 files to consider.
Pictures/
Pictures/.DS_Store
Pictures/.FBCIndex
Pictures/.FBCLockFolder/
Pictures/.FBCLockFolder/.FBCSemaphoreFile
Pictures/Apple day out/
Pictures/Apple day out/Apple Day Out-01

Here's a very verbose second attemp from kashmir->vortac:

kashmir:~> rsync -avvvvvvvvvz -e ssh /web/aviate/53sf
vortac:/export/home/mikec
/webbackup
cmd=ssh machine=vortac user= path=/export/home/mikec/webbackup
cmd=ssh vortac rsync --server -vvvvvvvvvlogDtprz .
/export/home/mikec/webbackup
opening connection using ssh vortac rsync --server -vvvvvvvvvlogDtprz .
/export/home/mikec/webbackup
mikec at vortac's password:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=150): entered
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=150): about to call exit(12)
kashmir:~>

Anyone have an idea what I should look for next?
