I have set up an Rsync server on FreeBSD 5.3 and plan on having windows clients synchronize data to it.
Rsync running as a daemon works fine. I can successfully copy data up to the server and view it via scp. Also- I can connect via ssh and run rsync as well. HOWEVER- I cannot connect "passwordless" with SSH and then connect to the rsync daemon. The following demonstartes what I would like to do: rsync -av -e "ssh -l myusername" "/cygdrive/pathtolocaldata" [EMAIL PROTECTED]::modulename --password-file filename When I run the above I successfully authenticate with SSH but then I get an error that the rsyncd.conf cannot be read. Permissions on the rsyncd.conf file are root:wheel -rw-r------ I have tried chown to rsync:rync the user the daemon runs under as specified in my conf file. I would like the have the granularity of using rsyncd.conf. I was somewhat content with just using ssh but ssh wants to change the permissions on the upload directory where others can rwx. I tried changing the umask but apparently it is ignored when making an ssh connection. In addition- the local accounts on the server are setup for scponly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been googling and experimenting for over two weeks. I believe everything is proper... :( TIA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
