ChangeLog

  • Added checks for unix extensions.
  • Added more documentation to the userguide.
  • Fixed loading of plugins.
  • Fixed call for deletion functions.
  • Normalize the path to <hostname>/<path> for the statedb filename.
  • More change name of client options to be more descriptive.

The change to normalize path for the statedb filename means that it do a full sync. It could happen that deleted files will reappear.

NOTE: sftp is still really slow. This will be fixed with the next libssh version and I will release a new csync version which works with libssh 0.2.1.

user wishes to store his home directory. The Authentication Module verifies the
identity of a user and triggers a synchronization with the server on the first
login and the last logout.

There is a bug in several PAM applications calling the PAM functions on logout
in the wrong order. Take a look at:

gdm calls pam functions in the wrong order
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557794

OpenSSH calls pam functions in the wrong order on logout
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1534

If you have ’su’ (switch user) with pam support, check the patch
if it calls the functions in the right order.

You can find packages here.

ChangeLog

  • Improved debugging output
  • Fixed some PAM problems introduce by buggy gdm, su, openssh
  • Fixed kerberos support
  • Code cleanups

NOTE: If you want to use csync with sftp. Compile the latest libssh version from svn and apply this patch to the csync source.

This version fixes several bugs to increase the stability of the file synchronizer. It provides a new plugin to synchronize two replicas with the sftp protocol. To get the csync sftp plugin working you need libssh 0.2 with the following two patches:

Map permission fields
Errno mapping
