SETUP
-----
-Rsync uses rsh or ssh for communication. It does not need to be setuid
-and requires no special privileges for installation. It does not
-require a inetd entry or a daemon. You must, however, have a working
-rsh or ssh system. Using ssh is recommended for its security
-features.
+Rsync normally uses rsh or ssh for communication. It does not need to
+be setuid and requires no special privileges for installation. You
+must, however, have a working rsh or ssh system. Using ssh is
+recommended for its security features.
+
+Alternatively, rsync can run in `daemon' mode, listening on a socket.
+This is generally used for public file distribution, although
+authentication and access control are available.
To install rsync, first run the "configure" script. This will create a
Makefile and config.h appropriate for your system. Then type
applications. It is open to anyone to join. I will announce new
versions on this list.
-To join the mailing list send mail to listproc@samba.org with
-no subject and a body of "subscribe rsync Your Name".
+To join the mailing list see the web page at http://lists.samba.org/
To send mail to everyone on the list send it to rsync@samba.org
developers of rsync and will allow you to look at other bug reports or
submit a new bug report.
-If you don't have web access then mail bug reports to
-rsync-bugs@samba.org or (if you think it will be of interest to lots
-of people) send it to rsync@samba.org
+If you don't have web access then mail bug reports to rsync@samba.org.
CVS TREE
source code repository then you can use anonymous cvs. You will need a
recent version of cvs then use the following commands:
- cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.samba.org:/cvsroot login
+ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login
Password: cvs
- cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.samba.org:/cvsroot co rsync
+ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co rsync
-Look at the cvs documentation for more details.
