Hi,
I'm trying to set up rsync to allow me to backup a number of Windows machine to
a Windows XP Home server using Nasbackup.
I can get rsync working fine but have been struggling for days to get user
authentication working.
/var/log/rsyncd.log
2005/09/27 13:46:37 [1352] rsyncd version 2.6.6 starting, listening on port 873
2005/09/27 13:47:50 [4088] auth failed on module modulename from localhost
(127.0.0.1): missing secret for user "me"
/etc/rsyncd.conf
use chroot = false
strict modes = false
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
[modulename]
path = /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/backups
comment = Rsync storage area
read only = false
auth users = me
secrets file = /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc/rsyncd.secrets
/etc/rsyncd.secrets
me:pass
The server was started with the following command line:
cygrunsrv.exe -I "Rsync" -p /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/rsync.exe -a
"--config=/cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon -cc -no-detach" -f "Rsync
daemon service"
net start rsync
The Rsync service is starting.
The Rsync service was started successfully.
The client was started with the following command line:
rsync -vvr /cygdrive/c/folder localhost::modulename
opening tcp connection to localhost port 873
opening connection using --server -vvr . modulename
Password:
@ERROR: auth failed on module modulename
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6main.c(1171)
As shown above, authentication is failing because it is not picking up the
secret for the user.
I have tried the forums, web searches etc and have tried tons but nothing seems
to work.
Any other ideas?
Thanks very much,
Andrew
