[Fwd: Re: Rsyncrypto errors during restore.]

[Edwin S. <post@EdwinSchouten.nl>]

Dear rsy...@li...,

I just remember that I found a remark in the manpage about a gzip-file
that does not zip, but parses it to cat. "The  tests directory  of=20
rsyncrypto=E2s  source  has  a file called "gzip", that does NULL
compression by redirecting the input and output to cat(1)." I'm unable to
find the gzip-file or a tests directory. Where can I find the file or wha=
t
is the content of the file so I can test encrypting/decrypting without
gzip.

Regards,
Edwin.

Actually, this might actually be the problem. Debian's gzip supports a
flag called "rsyncable". rsyncrypto relies heavily on this feature. If
you want to use rsyncrypto on a system that does not provide this flag,
you will need to supply the proper gzip yourself.

During compilation of rsyncrypto (I'm assuming you compiled it youself),
did configure complain that gzip did not have "rsyncable"? Hmm, looking
throught the internet seems to suggest that Fedora DOES carry an
"Rsyncable" supporting gzip. Can you please forward me an encryption
quartret (plain, encrypted, key and public key) of a file that shows
"Error in encrypted stream (trailer)" while decrypting
(say,aes_crypt.h)? It would be very helpful to me.

Thanks,
          Shachar
