So now I have tried the daemon again, and got a password prompt, which is better. I edited the "host allow = *" so that it would allow all hosts. But I tried at first adding the IP Address of my local router, and it didnt work. How can I configure the "hosts allow" field correctly to allow any requests from my network. Here is the error that I got: # rsync -zav <remote-server-ip>::realperson2 /random/file-or-directory Password: @ERROR: auth failed on module realperson2 rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1383) [receiver=2.6.9] I know that I had the password right, I even checked the rsync.secret file to double check. Do I have to have an actual domain name in order to give access to the daemon, or would putting in a IP Address be ok? ----- Computers are like air conditioners.
