Check the server's log. By default it goes to syslog, but you can also make it go to a file with a "log file = " in rsyncd.conf. For security reasons the rsync daemon mode doesn't give away much information to the client.
Make sure rsyncd.conf is not group-writable, that's a common problem. - Dave Dykstra On Fri, Feb 22, 2002 at 10:17:01PM -0500, Robert J.
