Hi,
I'm trying to setup an rsync daemon such that I can synchronize my home pc
(or other remote system) with my pc at work. I'm fairly new to linux and am
just starting to learn its amazing possibilities. I followed an online
toturial to create a rsyncd.conf file which reads:
#motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
refuse options = delete
[test]
path = /home/user/test
comment = rsync test
use chroot = yes
gid = nobody
uid = nobody
read only = no
list = yes
auth users = user
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
# Limit access from LAN
hosts allow=127.0.0.1, <home-ip>
hosts deny=*
Then I start the daemon as: sudo rsync -daemon (as user it doesn't seem to
start).
Now when I am at home I can only access the daemon using:
rsync -av -e "ssh -l root" user@<host-ip>::test /dest
i.e. it will only function as root, which is undesirable. I'd like to use
something like:
rsync -av -e "ssh -l ssh-user" user@<host-ip>::test /dest,
but this produces the error
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463)
[receiver=2.6.8]
What am I overlooking? I hope someone can help me,
Regards,
Peter
