rsync can't make it work between 2 HPNS

[Eric Bathalon]

Hi all, I am trying make rsync (3.2.4 for the moment) between 2 HPNS
It works if I use rsync from an ubuntu server to my HPNS.
It works if I sync locally from the same HPNS to sync 2 directories for example.
But when I am trying between my 2 HPNS I am still getting either:

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(228) [Receiver=v3.2.4] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(228) [sender=v3.2.4]

or SSH: rsync: is your shell clean?

Added export SUPPRESSCLIENTBANNER=TRUE to my profile I tried multiple syntax options without success.

If anyone have some hints
Thanks in advance !

Hi, Eric,

It would be helpful to know a few things:

o RVU of 'receiver' NonStop (target of rsync)
o NonStop SSH Vesion of that server
o User ID being used in all 3 cases (is it the same?)
o RVU of failing 'sender' NonStop (where rsync is being run)
o NonStop SSH Vesion of that server
o Can you connect from the 'sender' NonStop to the 'receiver' NonStop using SSH from the command line?

Based on the error test "0 bytes recevied" it could be encryption setup is not working.

Bill

HPNS 1 is running L22.09 with SSH L02_05SEP2022
HPNS 2 is running L20.10 with SSH L02_15OCT2020

I can connect SSH on both servers using the user IDs I am using to test my rsync with. (Either a super user or an super.super alias) over OutsideView & Putty or from a linux server directly on the OSS side.
The only modification I made is from my linux server that I need to use a .ssh/config to set Ciphers and HostKeyAlgo but outside of that, I can connect via SSH or use SFTP between both HPNS without issues.
I am using the same users for all my tests

Servers are giving the same errors whatever the role (sender or receiver)
HPNS 1 --> HPNS 2
HPNS 2 --> HPNS 1
same same

Are you trying to use rsyncd on the remote HPNS? If so, do you have port forwarding enabled in SSH? Also, have you set the SHELL-ENVIRONMENT for your user? Login shells (putty/outside view/etc..) automatically load your .profile, but other SSH shell connections do not and require the SHELL-ENVIRONMENT to define your env.

I am not trying to use the Daemon. I will look for the SHELL-ENVIRONMENT I am not sure about that !

I'm not sure about this working. The OpenSSH process has communication issues on NonStop and does not always work - I'm not sure why; however, it also cannot be located in /usr/bin as far as I know, as that is considered a man in the middle potential problem. The object is hard-coded to be in /usr/local/bin/ssh for the 1.0.2q OpenSSL build. You might have more success using NonStop SSH as a client/server in this case. /G/system/zssh/sshoss is the program for the client. You can also go to GNSC directly for help making SSHOSS work.

There is a misunderstanding. I am using Nonstop builtin SSH and my ssh is a link to /G/system/zssh/sshoss.

I am just wondering if it should work between 2 HPNS or it is the same problem that we have with scp that is only working as a server and not as a client...

GNSC can at least show you how to trace the communication and ensure that the key exchange and environment is set up correctly - ignoring rsync itself. This really sounds like a problem running SSHOSS from rsync, so if you could emulate the call via ksh, then any problems would be in the realm of GNSC.
