logging problems

[Bartick, Brett]

Hi Wayne!
I downloaded the latest CVS version (rsync-HEAD-20060406-0751GMT.tar.gz at the time) and gave it a try. It seemed to intermittently work. Reading through this thread and your conversations with Julian Pace Ross, I believe I am having the same problem he is. I downloaded the new CVS build (rsync-HEAD-20060408-1643GMT.tar.gz) and that seemed to fix the problem I was having! Upon some further investigation, I found out how I could easily duplicate the problem. If the source machine I was rsyning from couldn't be resolved on the destination machine running rsyncd from inetd.conf, I wouldn't get any output in the log file. As soon as I added an entry in /etc/hosts, it would log again.


2006/04/10 15:05:40 [26642] name lookup failed for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: DNS temporary failure
2006/04/10 15:05:40 [26642] connect from UNKNOWN (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)
2006/04/10 15:05:40 [26642] rsync on ABC-upload from jsmith at unknown (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)
2006/04/10 15:05:40 [26642] sent 141 bytes  received 117 bytes  total size 36352

Hope this helps info helps.

It does log, just not to the named log file (check your syslog).  This
was discussed on the list recently in the context of a single-use daemon
over ssh, but the bug is the same.  One patch is here:

    http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-March/015143.html

You'll also find this is fixed in the latest CVS version (which is
available in the latest "nightly" tar file).
