rsyncd broken

[Frank Fesevur]

Jari,

As I reported earlier rsync 3.1.0 is broken on cygwin.

Any news on that issue yet?

We run cygwin rsync daemons on our Windows servers and have a remote
Ubuntu server that backups the important data using rsnapshot. Earlier
this week I accidentally upgraded from 3.0.9 to your 3.1.0 on one of
our servers and that night the backup failed with these (client side)
error.

@ERROR: setuid failed
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1653) [Receiver=3.1.0]
ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 5 while processing
rsync://192.168.202.230/backup-d/DataWeb/
@ERROR: setuid failed
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1653) [Receiver=3.1.0]
ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 5 while processing
rsync://192.168.202.230/backup-d/wwwroot/

I reverted to 3.0.9 and it works as expected again.

But these error don't seem to be related to the 3.1.0 performance
issues, so do you have any idea why it fails? Could the additional
debian patch you've added cause this?

I will try a self build vanilla rsync.exe 3.1.1 this weekend or early
next week and see how that works.

Regards,
Frank
