For the past two days, upload.osgeo.org no longer responds properly to
anonymous rsync requests at
'rsync://upload.osgeo.org/download/libtiff/', which corresponds to TCP
port 873.
Rsync is useful for sites which want to automatically mirror the
libtiff distribution and test files, with a minimum of overhead.
I have enough access to the server to verify that the rsync configuration
(/etc/rsyncd.conf) is still present and that rsync should be
started via a legacy init script (/etc/init.d/rsync).
I am able to test rsync using its script and it does report a problem for
the past two days:
bfriesen@download:/etc/init.d$ /etc/init.d/rsync status
● rsync.service - fast remote file copy program daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsync.service; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: signal) since Mon 2023-07-24 00:52:22 UTC; 2

Docs: man:rsync(1)
man:rsyncd.conf(5)
Process: 99 ExecStart=/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach
(code=killed, signal=KILL)
Main PID: 99 (code=killed, signal=KILL)
Warning: some journal files were not opened due to insufficient
permissions.bfriesen@download:/etc/init.d
A system administrator is needed to investigate and fix this issue.
Perhaps there might be other server issues as well since this service has
been working for many years.
Steps to reproduce
rsync -rlptv --delete rsync://upload.osgeo.org/download/libtiff/
./mydir/libtiff
