Gang, I've read the manual(s), surfed google, spent about 5 hours on this, to no avail....
I'm trying to run rsync in server mode and it appears to start normally, but it refuses all connections (refuses connection when I tried telnetting in on localhost 873!). I've turned off all firewalls on this server (do I dare tell you guys that?...), which is fine: it is on a local network. I used the following command: rsync --daemon --server --config-file=/etc/rsyncd.conf . It responds normally: @RSYNC 28 note that I'm running rsync 2.6.2 because I have to: I want to be able to ultimately back up this server with backuppc, which is running a forked 2.6.2 at present. I have a "secrets" file at /etc/rsyncd.secrets and my rsyncd.conf file is below -- two notes: - running the daemon doesn't create a log, despite my specifying below - I don't note a see a pid in the directory indicated #rsyncd.conf use chroot = no max connections = 10 syslog facility = daemon read only = yes list = yes uid = nobody gid = nobody timeout = 180 pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsyncd.lock log file = /var/run/rsyncd.log [hj] path = /backups/pc/heart_juli/5 comment = juli strict modes = no auth users = foo secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets [hb] path = /backups/pc/heart_bob/7/ comment = bob strict modes = no auth users = foo secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets Thanks!! -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
