Hello, I am having some problems with rdist. I am trying to mirror
my mail spool on another machine. When I run rdist though it is adding or
changing any files that have been added or recently altered, but if I
delete an account on the master server, it isn't deleted on the "slave".
This is what my distfile looks like (buildup_mail.txt):
MAIL = (
/var/mail
/etc/mail/access
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
)
UNIXBAX = ( unixbackup.foo.net )
${MAIL} -> ${UNIXBAX}
install -i /usr/backup/mail/;
and I am running it like this:
rdist -R -P /usr/local/bin/ssh1 -f ./buildup_mail.txt
...A snippet from the man page says my "-R" is in the right place:
SYNOPSIS
rdist [-nqbRhivwyD] [-P rshcmd] [-f distfile] [-d var=value] [-m
host]
[name ...]
.
.
.
-R Remove extraneous files. If a directory is being updated, any
files that exist on the remote host that do not exist in the
master directory are removed. This is useful for maintaining
truly identical copies of directories.
.
.
.
......What is particularily odd is that it works with a few files. I made
a test directory with three files in it and used the same configuration on
it. I then deleted one of the three files on the master and ran rdist
again. I noticed it was deleted on the slave as it should be. Could it
have something to do with the number of files I am trying to rdist? Any
other ideas?
Thanks,
- Jamie
