SSH & Rsync issues
In short:
I have ssh set up on two systems so I can ssh from one to the other. My id_rsa.pub in ~/.ssh on my system is copied into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote system. I can ssh from local to remote with no issue and it's configured so authentication does not use passwords, but uses the RSA ID. This works perfectly. "ssh remote" gets me logged in immediately.
I can rsync to the other machine. Using "rsync localfile tnet-web::threshNet-Public" works fine and the file is transferred. BUT when I try to use rsync over ssh, it will NOT work.
A bit more of an explanation:
The problem is that when I try
rsync localfile -vvvv --rsh=ssh ...
or
rsync localfile -vvvv -e"ssh -l myname" ...
(Yes, same stuff as before with the ...)
Then I get errors:
using the -e option gives me this:
rsync: -rsh=ssh: unknown option
_exit_cleanup(code=1, file=/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c, line=1333): entered
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c(1333) [client=2.6.9]
_exit_cleanup(code=1, file=/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c, line=1333): about to call exit(1)
using --rsh gives me this:
cmd=ssh machine=tnet-web user= path=threshNet-Public
cmd[0]=ssh cmd[1]=tnet-web cmd[2]=rsync cmd[3]=--server cmd[4]=--daemon cmd[5]=.
opening connection using ssh tnet-web rsync --server --daemon .

_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/io.c, line=452): about to call exit(12)
I have config files for rsyncd.conf and sshd_conf included below my signature.
Both programs work separately, but if I try rsync over ssh, it simply does not work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
