I had rsync2.5.5 running fine ona RedHat Linux 8 system. I downloaded the rsync2.5.6 code and it compiled with no problems. However, operations which worked before are now failing. Here is my rsyncd.conf file
uid = nobody gid = nobody # use chroot = no max connections = 4 syslog facility = local5 pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd [ftp] path = /var/ftp/pub comment = whole ftp area read only = yes list = yes ignore nonreadable = yes [movies] path = /var/ftp/pub/movies comment = Movies and Video Clips [slides] path = /var/ftp/pub/slides comment = Slides and Pictures (requires authentication) auth users = chare, hawkins secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets uid = 500 gid = 500 read only = yes list = yes hosts allow = 192.168.0.3 Executing the command [EMAIL PROTECTED] chare]$ rsync -vvvv 192.168.0.3::slides// opening tcp connection to 192.168.0.3 port 873 Password: @ERROR: auth failed on module slides rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (91 bytes read so far) _exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=165): entered rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) _exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=165): about to call exit(12) fails, whereas it worked before.
