rsync - Jul 2006 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 3945] New: add arbitrary error reporting (with --error, perhaps)

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3945

           Summary: add arbitrary error reporting (with --error, perhaps)
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: dogcow@babymeat.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


On occasion, it's useful for a remote host to deny rsync'ing; this is
trivially
done with ssh keys that force a particular command to be given. However,
there's no easy way to correctly signal back _why_ the error failed. So,
I'm
requesting something akin to

rsync --server --error "In failover mode; rsync prohibited"

where it would spew back an appropriate error code and also the given reason.
Since errcode.h doesn't have RERR_ADMINPROHIB, it might be a good thing to
create it - regardless of the decision to implement the flag --error.

"deny-rsync" script

I wrote a quick-and-dirty shell script that speaks enough of the rsync protocol
to return an error message.  "deny-rsync foo" does what you propose
"rsync
--server --error foo" to do.

slightly improved "deny-rsync" script

I fixed a few bloopers in the script and generalized it a bit.

Wayne, please consider adding the "deny-rsync" script to support/ ;
then this
