Connection Refused

[James . Leone]

Read the man entries searched the archives and couldn't get any solutions.

 

Trying to run rsync as a daemon and use crontab to transfer files intermittently.

Running rsync 2.4.6 and have OPENSSH 2.3.0

 

get the following error when I do command

 

SERVER1# rsync /home/testpage SERVER2:/home/testpage

SERVER2: Connection refused
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

 

Rsync daemon is running on SERVER2 set it up with.

/etc/services

rsync           873/tcp                         # Rsync daemon for file synchronizing

/etc/inetd.conf

rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf

/etc/rsyncd.conf

log file= /var/adm/rsync
pid file= /etc/rsync.pid
hosts allow = localhost SERVER1

*I also have /etc/hosts.equiv

SERVER1

and /etc/hosts.allow

rsyncd: SERVER1 localhost

 

I know rysnc is running by netstat -a

      *.rsync              *.*                0      0     0      0 LISTEN

and telnet SERVER2 873 gives

Connected to SERVER2.
Escape character is '^]'.
@RSYNCD: 24

 

I'm not getting any log entries and cant' locate it's process via 'ps'

 

Any ideas on where connection validation is failing to give me a refusal or how to debug?

 

Looked at some other posts similar to this, 'one said try --rsh=COMMAND' another talked about .rhosts.  Neither worked.
