You're getting there. Save yourself some typing, though, and simplify your commandline until we get auth working. just "rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::backup_pa" get the list and we're past the hurdle. Looking at what you're doing, my guess is that you have world read on your secrets file - /etc/rsync.scrt. set it to u+rwx,go-rwx, i.e. 600, and try again... or, if you have no possible security concerns about your logged-in users, leave it whatever you want and add "strict modes = no" to the module so it won't care any more. Note: unless /mnt/hdc1/backup has o+rwx, or nobody ownership, the nobody user isn't going to be able to write. I'd suggest that if you're having only bart2 use it, and he's a real user, have bart2 own it and be the uid. If it's for multiple users files, make it root, and rsync will handle ownerships. DON'T make the rsync auth user name "root" - hell, don't make it anything that has system access. Everything you use runs as the uid anyway. Better yet, give each user his own module, running as himself.
If you're safe inside your own lan, ignore my security paranoia.
