.... I am trying to use rsync to archive my /etc directory on my FC14-x86_64 box onto another box for safe-keeping. I am pulling from the other box (NetBSD 6.1.5 64-bit) using the following command:<br>
<br>
4256EE1 # whoami<br>
root<br>
4256EE1 # rsync -avviiz root@q6600::etc /home/rsync/Q6600/etc<br>
opening tcp connection to q6600 port 873<br>
sending daemon args: --server --sender -vvlogDtprze.iLsfx . etc/ (5 args)<br>
receiving incremental file list<br>
rsync: readlink_stat("/sysctl.conf" (in etc)) failed: Permission denied (13)<br>
rsync: readlink_stat("/openvpn" (in etc)) failed: Permission denied (13)<br>
rsync: readlink_stat("/aliases" (in etc)) failed: Permission denied (13)<br>
rsync: readlink_stat("/.pwd.lock" (in etc)) failed: Permission denied (13)<br>
<br>
I am obviously having permission issues :-). I have xinetd activating rsyncd. I *think* my install of rsync & xinetd are box stock, but hard to be sure w/ the OS this old (I will be upgrading to CentOS in the near future, part of my interest in archiving my /etc to preserve lots of configuration magic). I see the following in my messages files on the Q6600 FC14 box:<br>

I also tried the rsync-pull as my regular user (which is what I ultimately want to do if possible), same issue. I su-ed to root on the NetBSD box (as per their recommendations) & have been doing that for years under Linux, I don't *think* that's the issue but who knows. Any clues what is going on here (i.e. why doesn't the rsync-pull get *everything* from my /etc directory onto the remote box) ? *Any* clues appreciated. TIA & have a good one.<br>
