Summary: rsyncd.conf: Default path=/ is dangerous
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.7
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: pepper at reppep.com
QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
One of our users accidentally commented out the path entry for a module on our
backup server. As a result, the backup started overwriting system files and
wrecked the backup server. I realize that path=/ is an excellent default for
pulling backups from other machines, but would like to suggest that path must
be explicitly set (for all modules or individual modules) in order to write to
rsyncd.
