    NAME

    rsyncd.conf - configuration file for rsync in daemon mode  

    SYNOPSIS

    rsyncd.conf

     

    DESCRIPTION

    The rsyncd.conf file is the runtime configuration file for rsync when run as an rsync daemon.

    The rsyncd.conf file controls authentication, access, logging and available modules.

     

    FILE FORMAT

    The file consists of modules and parameters. A module begins with the name of the module in square brackets and continues until the next module begins. Modules contain parameters of the form 'name = value'.

    The file is line-based -- that is, each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, a module name or a parameter.

    Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Whitespace before or after the first equals sign is discarded. Leading, trailing and internal whitespace in module and parameter names is irrelevant. Leading and trailing whitespace in a parameter value is discarded. Internal whitespace within a parameter value is retained verbatim.

    Any line beginning with a hash (#) is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace.

    Any line ending in a \ is "continued" on the next line in the customary UNIX fashion.

    The values following the equals sign in parameters are all either a string (no quotes needed) or a boolean, which may be given as yes/no, 0/1 or true/false. Case is not significant in boolean values, but is preserved in string values.

     

    LAUNCHING THE RSYNC DAEMON

    The rsync daemon is launched by specifying the --daemon option to rsync.

    The daemon must run with root privileges if you wish to use chroot, to bind to a port numbered under 1024 (as is the default 873), or to set file ownership. Otherwise, it must just have permission to read and write the appropriate data, log, and lock files.

    You can launch it either via inetd, as a stand-alone daemon, or from an rsync client via a remote shell. If run as a stand-alone daemon then just run the command "rsync --daemon" from a suitable startup script.

    When run via inetd you should add a line like this to /etc/services:

     
      rsync           873/tcp
    

     

    and a single line something like this to /etc/inetd.conf:

     
      rsync   stream  tcp     nowait  root   /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon
    

     

    Replace "/usr/bin/rsync" with the path to where you have rsync installed on your system. You will then need to send inetd a HUP signal to tell it to reread its config file.

    Note that you should not send the rsync daemon a HUP signal to force it to reread the rsyncd.conf file. The file is re-read on each client connection.

     

    GLOBAL OPTIONS

    The first parameters in the file (before a [module] header) are the global parameters.

    You may also include any module parameters in the global part of the config file in which case the supplied value will override the default for that parameter.

    motd file
    The "motd file" option allows you to specify a "message of the day" to display to clients on each connect. This usually contains site information and any legal notices. The default is no motd file.
    log file
    The "log file" option tells the rsync daemon to log messages to that file rather than using syslog. This is particularly useful on systems (such as AIX) where syslog() doesn't work for chrooted programs. If the daemon fails to open to specified file, it will fall back to using syslog and output an error about the failure. (Note that a failure to open the specified log file used to be a fatal error.)
    pid file
    The "pid file" option tells the rsync daemon to write its process ID to that file.
    syslog facility
    The "syslog facility" option allows you to specify the syslog facility name to use when logging messages from the rsync daemon. You may use any standard syslog facility name which is defined on your system. Common names are auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, ftp, kern, lpr, mail, news, security, syslog, user, uucp, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6 and local7. The default is daemon.
    port
    You can override the default port the daemon will listen on by specifying this value (defaults to 873). This is ignored if the daemon is being run by inetd, and is superseded by the --port command-line option.
    address
    You can override the default IP address the daemon will listen on by specifying this value. This is ignored if the daemon is being run by inetd, and is superseded by the --address command-line option.
    socket options
    This option can provide endless fun for people who like to tune their systems to the utmost degree. You can set all sorts of socket options which may make transfers faster (or slower!). Read the man page for the setsockopt() system call for details on some of the options you may be able to set. By default no special socket options are set. These settings are superseded by the --sockopts command-line option.

     

    MODULE OPTIONS

    After the global options you should define a number of modules, each module exports a directory tree as a symbolic name. Modules are exported by specifying a module name in square brackets [module] followed by the options for that module.

    comment
    The "comment" option specifies a description string that is displayed next to the module name when clients obtain a list of available modules. The default is no comment.
    path
    The "path" option specifies the directory in the daemon's filesystem to make available in this module. You must specify this option for each module in rsyncd.conf.
    use chroot
    If "use chroot" is true, the rsync daemon will chroot to the "path" before starting the file transfer with the client. This has the advantage of extra protection against possible implementation security holes, but it has the disadvantages of requiring super-user privileges, of not being able to follow symbolic links that are either absolute or outside of the new root path, and of complicating the preservation of usernames and groups (see below). When "use chroot" is false, for security reasons, symlinks may only be relative paths pointing to other files within the root path, and leading slashes are removed from most absolute paths (options such as --backup-dir, --compare-dest, etc. interpret an absolute path as rooted in the module's "path" dir, just as if chroot was specified). The default for "use chroot" is true.
    In order to preserve usernames and groupnames, rsync needs to be able to use the standard library functions for looking up names and IDs (i.e. getpwuid(), getgrgid(), getpwname(), and getgrnam()). This means a process in the chroot namespace will need to have access to the resources used by these library functions (traditionally /etc/passwd and /etc/group). If these resources are not available, rsync will only be able to copy the IDs, just as if the --numeric-ids option had been specified.
    Note that you are free to setup user/group information in the chroot area differently from your normal system. For example, you could abbreviate the list of users and groups. Also, you can protect this information from being downloaded/uploaded by adding an exclude rule to the rsyncd.conf file (e.g. "exclude = /etc/**"). Note that having the exclusion affect uploads is a relatively new feature in rsync, so make sure your daemon is at least 2.6.3 to effect this. Also note that it is safest to exclude a directory and all its contents combining the rule "/some/dir/" with the rule "/some/dir/**" just to be sure that rsync will not allow deeper access to some of the excluded files inside the directory (rsync tries to do this automatically, but you might as well specify both to be extra sure).
    max connections
    The "max connections" option allows you to specify the maximum number of simultaneous connections you will allow. Any clients connecting when the maximum has been reached will receive a message telling them to try later. The default is 0 which means no limit. See also the "lock file" option.
    max verbosity
    The "max verbosity" option allows you to control the maximum amount of verbose information that you'll allow the daemon to generate (since the information goes into the log file). The default is 1, which allows the client to request one level of verbosity.
    lock file
    The "lock file" option specifies the file to use to support the "max connections" option. The rsync daemon uses record locking on this file to ensure that the max connections limit is not exceeded for the modules sharing the lock file. The default is /var/run/rsyncd.lock.
    read only
    The "read only" option determines whether clients will be able to upload files or not. If "read only" is true then any attempted uploads will fail. If "read only" is false then uploads will be possible if file permissions on the daemon side allow them. The default is for all modules to be read only.
    write only
    The "write only" option determines whether clients will be able to download files or not. If "write only" is true then any attempted downloads will fail. If "write only" is false then downloads will be possible if file permissions on the daemon side allow them. The default is for this option to be disabled.
    list
    The "list" option determines if this module should be listed when the client asks for a listing of available modules. By setting this to false you can create hidden modules. The default is for modules to be listable.
    uid
    The "uid" option specifies the user name or user ID that file transfers to and from that module should take place as when the daemon was run as root. In combination with the "gid" option this determines what file permissions are available. The default is uid -2, which is normally the user "nobody".
    gid
    The "gid" option specifies the group name or group ID that file transfers to and from that module should take place as when the daemon was run as root. This complements the "uid" option. The default is gid -2, which is normally the group "nobody".
    filter
    The "filter" option allows you to specify a space-separated list of filter rules that the daemon will not allow to be read or written. This is only superficially equivalent to the client specifying these patterns with the --filter option. Only one "filter" option may be specified, but it may contain as many rules as you like, including merge-file rules. Note that per-directory merge-file rules do not provide as much protection as global rules, but they can be used to make --delete work better when a client downloads the daemon's files (if the per-dir merge files are included in the transfer).
    exclude
    The "exclude" option allows you to specify a space-separated list of patterns that the daemon will not allow to be read or written. This is only superficially equivalent to the client specifying these patterns with the --exclude option. Only one "exclude" option may be specified, but you can use "-" and "+" before patterns to specify exclude/include.
    Because this exclude list is not passed to the client it only applies on the daemon: that is, it excludes files received by a client when receiving from a daemon and files deleted on a daemon when sending to a daemon, but it doesn't exclude files from being deleted on a client when receiving from a daemon.
    exclude from
    The "exclude from" option specifies a filename on the daemon that contains exclude patterns, one per line. This is only superficially equivalent to the client specifying the --exclude-from option with an equivalent file. See the "exclude" option above.
    include
    The "include" option allows you to specify a space-separated list of patterns which rsync should not exclude. This is only superficially equivalent to the client specifying these patterns with the --include option because it applies only on the daemon. This is useful as it allows you to build up quite complex exclude/include rules. Only one "include" option may be specified, but you can use "+" and "-" before patterns to switch include/exclude. See the "exclude" option above.
    include from
    The "include from" option specifies a filename on the daemon that contains include patterns, one per line. This is only superficially equivalent to the client specifying the --include-from option with a equivalent file. See the "exclude" option above.
    incoming chmod
    This option allows you to specify a set of comma-separated chmod strings that will affect the permissions of all incoming files (files that are being received by the daemon). These changes happen after all other permission calculations, and this will even override destination-default and/or existing permissions when the client does not specify --perms. See the description of the --chmod rsync option and the chmod(1) manpage for information on the format of this string.
    outgoing chmod
    This option allows you to specify a set of comma-separated chmod strings that will affect the permissions of all outgoing files (files that are being sent out from the daemon). These changes happen first, making the sent permissions appear to be different than those stored in the filesystem itself. For instance, you could disable group write permissions on the server while having it appear to be on to the clients. See the description of the --chmod rsync option and the chmod(1) manpage for information on the format of this string.
    auth users
    The "auth users" option specifies a comma and space-separated list of usernames that will be allowed to connect to this module. The usernames do not need to exist on the local system. The usernames may also contain shell wildcard characters. If "auth users" is set then the client will be challenged to supply a username and password to connect to the module. A challenge response authentication protocol is used for this exchange. The plain text usernames and passwords are stored in the file specified by the "secrets file" option. The default is for all users to be able to connect without a password (this is called "anonymous rsync").
    See also the "CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC DAEMON OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM" section in rsync(1) for information on how handle an rsyncd.conf-level username that differs from the remote-shell-level username when using a remote shell to connect to an rsync daemon.
    secrets file
    The "secrets file" option specifies the name of a file that contains the username:password pairs used for authenticating this module. This file is only consulted if the "auth users" option is specified. The file is line based and contains username:password pairs separated by a single colon. Any line starting with a hash (#) is considered a comment and is skipped. The passwords can contain any characters but be warned that many operating systems limit the length of passwords that can be typed at the client end, so you may find that passwords longer than 8 characters don't work.
    There is no default for the "secrets file" option, you must choose a name (such as /etc/rsyncd.secrets). The file must normally not be readable by "other"; see "strict modes".
    strict modes
    The "strict modes" option determines whether or not the permissions on the secrets file will be checked. If "strict modes" is true, then the secrets file must not be readable by any user ID other than the one that the rsync daemon is running under. If "strict modes" is false, the check is not performed. The default is true. This option was added to accommodate rsync running on the Windows operating system.
    hosts allow
    The "hosts allow" option allows you to specify a list of patterns that are matched against a connecting clients hostname and IP address. If none of the patterns match then the connection is rejected.
    Each pattern can be in one of five forms:
    o
    a dotted decimal IPv4 address of the form a.b.c.d, or an IPv6 address of the form a:b:c::d:e:f. In this case the incoming machine's IP address must match exactly.
    o
    an address/mask in the form ipaddr/n where ipaddr is the IP address and n is the number of one bits in the netmask. All IP addresses which match the masked IP address will be allowed in.
    o
    an address/mask in the form ipaddr/maskaddr where ipaddr is the IP address and maskaddr is the netmask in dotted decimal notation for IPv4, or similar for IPv6, e.g. ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: instead of /64. All IP addresses which match the masked IP address will be allowed in.
    o
    a hostname. The hostname as determined by a reverse lookup will be matched (case insensitive) against the pattern. Only an exact match is allowed in.
    o
    a hostname pattern using wildcards. These are matched using the same rules as normal unix filename matching. If the pattern matches then the client is allowed in.
    Note IPv6 link-local addresses can have a scope in the address specification:
    fe80::1%link1
    fe80::%link1/64
    fe80::%link1/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::
    You can also combine "hosts allow" with a separate "hosts deny" option. If both options are specified then the "hosts allow" option s checked first and a match results in the client being able to connect. The "hosts deny" option is then checked and a match means that the host is rejected. If the host does not match either the "hosts allow" or the "hosts deny" patterns then it is allowed to connect.
    The default is no "hosts allow" option, which means all hosts can connect.
    hosts deny
    The "hosts deny" option allows you to specify a list of patterns that are matched against a connecting clients hostname and IP address. If the pattern matches then the connection is rejected. See the "hosts allow" option for more information.
    The default is no "hosts deny" option, which means all hosts can connect.
    ignore errors
    The "ignore errors" option tells rsyncd to ignore I/O errors on the daemon when deciding whether to run the delete phase of the transfer. Normally rsync skips the --delete step if any I/O errors have occurred in order to prevent disastrous deletion due to a temporary resource shortage or other I/O error. In some cases this test is counter productive so you can use this option to turn off this behavior.
    ignore nonreadable
    This tells the rsync daemon to completely ignore files that are not readable by the user. This is useful for public archives that may have some non-readable files among the directories, and the sysadmin doesn't want those files to be seen at all.
    transfer logging
    The "transfer logging" option enables per-file logging of downloads and uploads in a format somewhat similar to that used by ftp daemons. The daemon always logs the transfer at the end, so if a transfer is aborted, no mention will be made in the log file.
    If you want to customize the log lines, see the "log format" option.
    log format
    The "log format" option allows you to specify the format used for logging file transfers when transfer logging is enabled. The format is a text string containing embedded single-character escape sequences prefixed with a percent (%) character. An optional numeric field width may also be specified between the percent and the escape letter (e.g. "%-50n %8l %07p").
    The default log format is "%o %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l", and a "%t [%p] " is always prefixed when using the "log file" option. (A perl script that will summarize this default log format is included in the rsync source code distribution in the "support" subdirectory: rsyncstats.)
    The single-character escapes that are understood are as follows:
    o
    %a the remote IP address
    o
    %b the number of bytes actually transferred
    o
    %B the permission bits of the file (e.g. rwxrwxrwt)
    o
    %c the checksum bytes received for this file (only when sending)
    o
    %f the filename (long form on sender; no trailing "/")
    o
    %G the gid of the file (decimal) or "DEFAULT"
    o
    %h the remote host name
    o
    %i an itemized list of what is being updated
    o
    %l the length of the file in bytes
    o
    %L the string " -> SYMLINK", " => HARDLINK", or "" (where SYMLINK or HARDLINK is a filename)
    o
    %m the module name
    o
    %M the last-modified time of the file
    o
    %n the filename (short form; trailing "/" on dir)
    o
    %o the operation, which is "send", "recv", or "del." (the latter includes the trailing period)
    o
    %p the process ID of this rsync session
    o
    %P the module path
    o
    %t the current date time
    o
    %u the authenticated username or an empty string
    o
    %U the uid of the file (decimal)
    For a list of what the characters mean that are output by "%i", see the --itemize-changes option in the rsync manpage.
    Note that some of the logged output changes when talking with older rsync versions. For instance, deleted files were only output as verbose messages prior to rsync 2.6.4.
    timeout
    The "timeout" option allows you to override the clients choice for I/O timeout for this module. Using this option you can ensure that rsync won't wait on a dead client forever. The timeout is specified in seconds. A value of zero means no timeout and is the default. A good choice for anonymous rsync daemons may be 600 (giving a 10 minute timeout).
    refuse options
    The "refuse options" option allows you to specify a space-separated list of rsync command line options that will be refused by your rsync daemon. You may specify the full option name, its one-letter abbreviation, or a wild-card string that matches multiple options. For example, this would refuse --checksum (-c) and all the various delete options:
    refuse options = c delete
    The reason the above refuses all delete options is that the options imply --delete, and implied options are refused just like explicit options. As an additional safety feature, the refusal of "delete" also refuses remove-sent-files when the daemon is the sender; if you want the latter without the former, instead refuse "delete-*" -- that refuses all the delete modes without affecting --remove-sent-files.
    When an option is refused, the daemon prints an error message and exits. To prevent all compression, you can use "dont compress = *" (see below) instead of "refuse options = compress" to avoid returning an error to a client that requests compression.
    dont compress
    The "dont compress" option allows you to select filenames based on wildcard patterns that should not be compressed during transfer. Compression is expensive in terms of CPU usage so it is usually good to not try to compress files that won't compress well, such as already compressed files.
    The "dont compress" option takes a space-separated list of case-insensitive wildcard patterns. Any source filename matching one of the patterns will not be compressed during transfer.
    The default setting is *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso *.bz2 *.tbz
    pre-xfer exec, post-xfer exec
    You may specify a command to be run before and/or after the transfer. If the pre-xfer exec command fails, the transfer is aborted before it begins.
    The following environment variables will be set, though some are specific to the pre-xfer or the post-xfer environment:
    o
    RSYNC_MODULE_NAME: The name of the module being accessed.
    o
    RSYNC_MODULE_PATH: The path configured for the module.
    o
    RSYNC_HOST_ADDR: The accessing host's IP address.
    o
    RSYNC_HOST_NAME: The accessing host's name.
    o
    RSYNC_USER_NAME: The accessing user's name (empty if no user).
    o
    RSYNC_REQUEST: (pre-xfer only) The module/path info specified by the user (note that the user can specify multiple source files, so the request can be something like "mod/path1 mod/path2", etc.).
    o
    RSYNC_ARG#: (pre-xfer only) The pre-request arguments are set in these numbered values. RSYNC_ARG0 is always "rsyncd", and the last value contains a single period.
    o
    RSYNC_EXIT_STATUS: (post-xfer only) rsync's exit value. This will be 0 for a successful run, a positive value for an error that rsync returned (e.g. 23=partial xfer), or a -1 if rsync failed to exit properly.
    o
    RSYNC_RAW_STATUS: (post-xfer only) the raw exit value from waitpid().
    Even though the commands can be associated with a particular module, they are run using the permissions of the user that started the daemon (not the module's uid/gid setting) without any chroot restrictions.

     

    AUTHENTICATION STRENGTH

    The authentication protocol used in rsync is a 128 bit MD4 based challenge response system. This is fairly weak protection, though (with at least one brute-force hash-finding algorithm publicly available), so if you want really top-quality security, then I recommend that you run rsync over ssh. (Yes, a future version of rsync will switch over to a stronger hashing method.)

    Also note that the rsync daemon protocol does not currently provide any encryption of the data that is transferred over the connection. Only authentication is provided. Use ssh as the transport if you want encryption.

    Future versions of rsync may support SSL for better authentication and encryption, but that is still being investigated.

     

    EXAMPLES

    A simple rsyncd.conf file that allow anonymous rsync to a ftp area at /home/ftp would be:

     
    
    [ftp]
            path = /home/ftp
            comment = ftp export area
    
    

     

    A more sophisticated example would be:

     
    
    uid = nobody
    gid = nobody
    use chroot = no
    max connections = 4
    syslog facility = local5
    pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
    
    [ftp]
            path = /var/ftp/pub
            comment = whole ftp area (approx 6.1 GB)
    
    [sambaftp]
            path = /var/ftp/pub/samba
            comment = Samba ftp area (approx 300 MB)
    
    [rsyncftp]
            path = /var/ftp/pub/rsync
            comment = rsync ftp area (approx 6 MB)
            
    [sambawww]
            path = /public_html/samba
            comment = Samba WWW pages (approx 240 MB)
    
    [cvs]
            path = /data/cvs
            comment = CVS repository (requires authentication)
            auth users = tridge, susan
            secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
    
    

     

    The /etc/rsyncd.secrets file would look something like this:

    tridge:mypass
    susan:herpass
