Rsync will output an error about the missing file to stderr: rsync: could not open password file "/path/secrets.rsync": No such file or directory (2) And it will then prompt you for a password. If stdin is not available, that will result in an empty password being sent to the daemon, and the daemon rejecting the authorization attempt with a password-mismatch error. If the password file is not set with the proper permissions, it will also be rejected. E.g.: password file must not be other-accessible continuing without password file The file can be group-readable, though. Make sure that your php script that is running rsync is returning the stderr output so that you'll see if the --password-file option is failing. (E.g. you might need to use "2>&1" to merge stderr into stdout.) ..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
