Hello list,
I am trying to setup a password on my local rsync portage mirror. This is
what I have done thus far:
On the server:
1. Added "secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.users" and "auth users = portage"
to /etc/rsyncd.conf in the appropriate places.
2. Placed "portage:notmypassword" in /etc/rsyncd.users
3. /etc/init.d/rsyncd restart
On the client:
1. Added RSYNC_OPTIONS="--password-file=/etc/portage/rsync.user"
to /etc/make.conf.
2. Modified SYNC in make.conf to include the user:
SYNC="rsync://portage@host.domain.local/gentoo-portage"
3. echo 'notmypassword' >/etc/portage/rsync.user
Now, I type "emerge --sync" and I get prompted for a password (if I were to
make a guess, it's that the variable "RSYNC_OPTIONS" is not referenced by
portage).
Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way to do this?
Thanks,
Robert Larson
