Hi folks, |

3 |
rsync 2.6.8 is out and it's being bumped in the portage tree for a security |
4 |
update. |
5 |
|
6 |
Quoting release notes: |
7 |
|
8 |
- The xattrs.diff patch received a security fix that prevents a potential |
9 |
buffer overflow in the receive_xattr() code. |

14 |
|
15 |
I updated the server on rsync1.it.gentoo.org for testing, after 2.6.0 the |
16 |
--daemon options changed a bit, quoting changelog: |
17 |
|
18 |
- The daemon-mode options are now separated from the normal rsync |
19 |
options so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it |
20 |
impossible to start a daemon that has improper default option |
21 |
values (which could cause problems when a client connects, such as |
22 |
hanging or crashing). |
23 |
|
24 |
so you might have to strip some options from your command line arguments in |
25 |
order to start it (and if appliable move them to rsyncd.conf) |
26 |
