One thing I see is that the module-specific "read only = no" is in the global section. As far as I know, that will make it be ignored.

Classification: I am having some problems getting rsync working. No files get copied, although the server HD light DOES come on for about a second when I run the client rsync command. The /etc/rsyncd.conf on the server: ============================== uid = root gid = root log = /var/log/rsync.log read only = no [email] # Email data files from /var/spool/mail on Proxy (192.168.0.100) path = /home/databackup/ ============================== /home/databackup: 4 drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 May 15 14:34 databackup The /etc/hosts file on the client: 192.168.0.250 StorageServer The /etc/services file on the server: [root@StorageServer etc]# grep rsync /etc/services rsync 873/tcp # rsync rsync 873/udp # rsync The command which is run on the client: rsync -avt /var/spool/mail StorageServer::email I have also tried /tmp but it is still the same. I am running the command as root, and the root passwords on both systems are the same. There is no logfile. I have tried to create one and chmoded it to 777, but nothing gets written in there. I have also tried changing the logfile location to /tmp but it still doesn't get created. The client is running rsync-2.4.4-1 on RedHat 7.0 and the server is running rsync-2.5.4-2 on Redhat 7.3. I have tried to upgrade rsync on the 7.0 PC but it requires a new version of glibc, which I cannot install due to lots of dependancy issues. Can anyone shed any light on this?
