Hi!

I have installed rsync in Jessie. But every attempt to sync from a remote 
computer leads to the error message:

@ERROR: chroot failed
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1635) 
[sender=3.1.1]

Here is my rsyncd.conf:

hosts allow = 192.168.56.0/24
use chroot = true
transfer logging = true
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
[rsyncshare]
path = /rsyncshare
read only = no
list = yes
uid = john
gid = john

The directory /rsyncshare is owned by john… 

drwxr-xr-x  2 john    john    4.0K Sep  9 18:45 ./
drwxr-xr-x 23 root    root    4.0K Sep  9 18:39 ../

The share is accessible from my workstation:

sam@malibu:~$ rsync 192.168.56.65::
rsyncshare      Public Share

What I’m doing wrong? 

Best Regards!
