 Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:06 am Post subject: RSYNC behind Firewall |
 |
|
I did search but not exhaustive..partly cause i dont have the understanding of Squid.
Can some one point me out a detailed setup for allowing gentoo rsync behind firewall.
i know its port 873 and needs to be added in Access Control List(?) of Squid ..But how. My NET Admin says that he has added my address in access list but i cannot rync . Its giving me Error. i ll post the Error . But meanwhile the information on setting up server for rsync is surely not highly accessible if not totally missing

| What is it exactly that you want? If you just want to sync your local portage tree with a mirror there's no firewall issue AFAIK. It should work right away:If, on the other hand, you want to setup an rsync mirror you should consult the Gentoo docs http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml |

|

Perhaps i wasn't clear. I am using internet via proxy and thE server admin is using SQUID for proxy configuration.the proxy server is at | Code: | | 192.168.100.13:8080 |
i have used it to do http and ftp transfers by export HTTP_PROXY and FTP_PROXY variables. I have also exported RSYNC_PROXY variable but its not working even after the admin says that rsync port is open and bounded with SQUID. So essentaily he has NOT been able the server to allow RSYNC to be proxied. i wanted to get a detailed howto for my net admin on how to configure RSYNC_PROXY on Squid. so he can cross check if has misssed any step
untill RSYNC_PROXY is not enabled I cannot do an emerge --sync. I really dont like emerge-webrsync

| Aha. So you don't have an open Internet connection, meaning you can only visit pages that are allowed by your proxy? Sounds like a problem to me... |

if you are using the http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables, why not try: This will download the latest snapshot from the mirror (with md5sum to check), un-bz2-tar it and then sync from the temp area. It might take a while, depending on your connection and your mirror, but it works.

This is sometimes the only way behind a proxy, but the download size will be nearly 120 MB. |
