Hi,

looking to download the latest RC from Ibiblio, I notice the nightly
rsync is broken and it hasn't updated since the 8th of September.

http://grass.ibiblio.org
http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass62/source/

??

thanks,
Hamish

Hi,

I made a quick check in our log file:

[neteler@krokus log]$ nslookup grass.ibiblio.org
Server: 217.77.80.3
Address: 217.77.80.3#53

Non-authoritative answer: grass.ibiblio.org canonical name = vhost.ibiblio.org.
Name: vhost.ibiblio.org
Address: 152.46.7.81

grep 152.46.7 /var/log/messages
Oct 24 08:50:03 krokus rsyncd[13711]: name lookup failed for 152.46.7.122: Name or service not known
Oct 24 08:50:03 krokus rsyncd[13711]: rsync denied on module grass from unknown (152.46.7.122)

Apparently the grass.ibliblio.org server changes the IP.
But:

nslookup 152.46.7.122
Server: 217.77.80.3
Address: 217.77.80.3#53
** server can't find 122.7.46.152.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN

Anyway, I have added 152.46.7.122 to the list of permitted sites.
By tommorrow it should be back in sync.

Thanks for pointing out the problem,
Markus

Could the same problem be behind the Aarnet .au mirror being stalled at
Sept 18?

http://grass.ibiblio.org is back in sync now.

I don't see any syncronization attempts from there but I have fixed the
IP of mirror.aarnet.edu.au. If it doesn't update within 1-2 days, they
should
check if their rsync cronjob is still running.
