Although not an rsync expert, I think your problem is in the way you reference the remote machine.
rsync will either work on a remote machine gaining access via a shell (which SSH recently became the default) or will use the rsync daemon.
Firstly, your configuration steps so far have setup an rsync daemon so you should have specified the syntax to connect to the daemon. This is achieve with a double colon "::" as opposed to the normal single colon.
Secondly, if you use the the rsync demon you must refer to a "module" which in your case is "tmp" which just happens to be the same as the directory name. The syntax for referring to a module does not include a leading slash.
So I suggest you try the following - just 1 character different:
rsync -vz \ --password-file=/export/home/raub/nogo \ /export/home/raub/sync-me \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]::tmp
Hello there!
Thanks for the info on the missing character; at least now I seem to be *almost* there:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>rsync -vz \ ? --password-file=/export/home/raub/nogo \ ? /export/home/raub/sync-me \ ? [EMAIL PROTECTED]::tmp NetBSD 1.6.1 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Apr 8 21:00:42 UTC 2003
Welcome to NetBSD!
@ERROR: auth failed on module tmp rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (164 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I still feel clueless. Would you have another pointer for what I should try next? Thanks!
