#46: mdb defaults are ignored ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: mthomas Type: defect | Status: new Priority: critical | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- I cannot sync from my notebook to numrel02; the error message is:

Error: machine entry redshift does not have a user defined

The mdb entry for redshift does not define the user, but I have a default setting for the user.

If I circumvent this problem by setting the user for redshift, then I receive the next error:

Error: machine redshift is missing a required key: rsynccmd

This key has a default value in mdb-syntax.ini, but is apparently also not set.
