the --pasword-file= option is only for passing a password to a rsync
server, as you have set up with the rsync --daemon process. Your
rsyncd.conf file is fine, too. The problem is that you aren't calling
your rsync daemon from your commandline. You are trying to connect via
rsync to host as axlink and start a 'rsync --sender' process, to transfer
data within the ssh process.
"rsync -auve ssh -z --port=22
--password-file=/export/home/tester01/rsync.pwd
/export/home/tester01/. axlink@host:/home/axlink/rs"
should be
"rsync -auvz --password-file=/export/home/tester01/rsync.pwd
/export/home/tester01/. axlink@host::/home/axlink/rs"
You don't use an external transport (-e ssh) to go to a rsync daemon.
--port=22 implies that you don't have ssh, but rather rsyncd on port 22.
rsyncd ordinarily listens on port 873, or at least you have inetd
listening there and spawning off rsyncds as needed(my preferred method).
You don't specify an alternate port to rsync --daemon, so i assume it's
still on the default. Also, since you use a single colon in
"axlink@host:/home/axlink/rs", along with "-e ssh", it's certain that you successfully
connected to
ssh (which coincidentally connected to port 22... in your invocation,
--port= was ignored). I'll bet you can't ssh into host as axlink, at
least, not without a password. Try my revised commandline.
I'm ccing the list to keep people up on your resolution (they really do
care).

thank for reply.
anyway, i have rsync daemon on the remote system:
ps -ef |grep rsync
root 21540 1 0 Apr 09 - 0:00 /usr/local/bin/rsync
--daemon
motd file = /etc/motd_rsync
max connections = 10
lock file = /etc/rsyncd.lock
syslog facility = local3
[rs]
comment = rs backup
path = /home/axlink/rs
read only = no
uid = axlink
gid = staff
auth users = axlink
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
dont compress = yes
then when i try :
rsync -auve ssh -z --port=22
--password-file=/export/home/tester01/rsync.pwd
/export/home/tester01/. axlink@host:/home/axlink/rs
it's still prompt for the passwd, why? file permission of rsync.pwd =600
i have not problem on doing all this in my LAN, but not on the WAN where
both server is on
different country. each of the server is behind the firewall where only
port 22 is open, do i
really need to open the port 873 as well, althrough we already define to
use port 22 as a
transport
kindly advise
thank in advance
