skype block stop rsync, too

Hi,
we are using rsync protocol to replicate all data from our sites.
If we enable the application control to drop all skype users in our network the rsync will be detected as skype and dropped?

Thank you.
Michael

    I have also an another issue:
    There must be a new pattern release for the IPS:
    The traffic from our citrix gateway V5 (http) will be blocked.

  • Hi Michael,

    I think, above your Block rule, you'll need an ALLOW rule for the IPs that you're rsyncing with.  If that doesn't work, how about adding them to the 'Skip hosts/nets' list?

    I've never had much luck getting Citrix server to play well with others, so I think you'll need to add an Exception for it.

    Cheers - Bob
  • Hi,

    Yes, I have this fixed with an exception.
    I just wanted to say that the IPS has previously run without problems.
    This issue causes probably by an pattern update around 28-30.11.12?

    Does anyone have an idea about the wrong skype rsync detection?
    Thank you
    Micha
  • Hi Micha,

    if you could supply a pcap with some of the falsely classified rsync traffic it could help to reproduce the problem. This is required for fixing it.

    Doing

    tcpdump -i ethX -s0 -w rsync_as_skype.pcap -v


    on the right interface and posting the pcap would be nice.

    Best regards,
  • I'm noticing the same sort of thing.  rsync traffice is identified as Skype traffic in the flow monitor.
