Hi folks, |

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 |
