Turns out "nobody" had been removed from our password files. I have used the "uid = " global setting and all appears good.
Last question. Can a daemon version of rsync using the rsyncd.conf file be configured to only allow access to "modules" and no other part of the remote side's file system?

You can always set the user via the uid option (e.g. "uid = root") so that rsync doesn't try to switch to the default user of "nobody". ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
