OK, I searched through the archives and didn't find anything so I must be doing something stupid.
I just compiled 2.6.3 and am trying to get it to run on linux 2.6.8.1 kernel with a more or less fedora core2 environment. I was trying between two systems but I have narrowed it down to what I believe is a pretty simple case. Here is my setup/test: Last login: Mon Oct 4 19:30:49 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/rsync # default: off # description: The rsync server is a good addition to an ftp server, as it \ # allows crc checksumming etc. service rsync { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/rsync server_args = --daemon log_on_failure += USERID } [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf use chroot = true [rsync] comment = backup path = /base read only = no list = yes uid = root gid = root [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mkdir /base/test1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# touch /base/test1/testfile.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mkdir /base/bkup [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rsync -av localhost::rsync/test1 /base/bkup/ receiving file list ... done test1/ test1/testfile.txt sent 93 bytes received 132 bytes 450.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chgrp -R nobody /base/test1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rsync -av localhost::rsync/test1 /base/bkup/ receiving file list ... rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (4 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359) [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chgrp -R root /base/test1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rsync -av localhost::rsync/test1 /base/bkup/ receiving file list ... done sent 73 bytes received 92 bytes 330.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# Can anyone point me in the right direction?
