Hi to all, i found very interesting testing networking with the rsync program from http://rsync.samba.org I have successfully test my local network with ftp from a r5 machine to haiku: transferring a small file from r5 to haiku (gawk) Note that both machines using RTL-8139 rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does. There are two different ways for rsync to contact a remote system: using a remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh) or contacting an rsync daemon directly via TCP. In this case you will directly connect to a remote rsync daemon, typically using TCP port 873. I have downloaded and built for haiku, rsync version 2.6.9 (with small changes to the source code) in order to use the daemon feature. NO openssh, no openssl required. Follow some kernel-messages from the serial debug output: DAEMON 'rsyncd'[212]: rsyncd version 2.6.9 starting, listening on port 873 DAEMON 'rsyncd'[230]: rsyncd version 2.6.9 starting, listening on port 873 DAEMON 'rsyncd'[230]: bind() failed: Permission denied (address-family 1) DAEMON 'rsyncd'[230]: unable to bind any inbound sockets on port 873 DAEMON 'rsyncd'[230]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(478) [receiver=2.6.9] KERN: INIT : init system info KERN: INIT : init SMP KERN: INIT : init timer KERN: INIT : init real time clock KERN: INIT : init semaphores KERN: INIT : init VM semaphores KERN: INIT : init driver_settings KERN: INIT : init generic syscall KERN: INIT : init cbuf KERN: INIT : init teams KERN: INIT : init threads KERN: INIT : init ports KERN: INIT : init kernel daemons KERN: apm_init() KERN: code32: 0xf000, 0xa3d0, length 0xffff KERN: code16: 0xf000, length 0xffff KERN: data: 0x40, length 0x100 KERN: INIT : init VM threads KERN: INIT : init ELF loader KERN: INIT : init scheduler KERN: INIT : init VFS [...] i have two questions: a) Do we support listing on port 873? Making possible to test the rsync? b) How the rsync program started automatically? i have not made any special settings, and the executable is sitting to /boot/beos/bin folder? How this happens? bye, Vasilis
