That's very bizarre, since the daemon is ostensibly running as root and the permissions on /home/test clearly should allow the chdir. Make sure that xinetd is running as root so that it can launch the rsync daemon as root. Set a shell script like the following as the "server" in the xinetd configuration to verify that the daemon is running as root and to strace it to get more information about the failed chdir: #!/bin/bash echo $UID $EUID >/tmp/rsync.ids exec strace -f -o /tmp/rsync.strace /usr/bin/rsync --daemon Matt -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
