Fedora supplies an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file that defaults to off. Using your b command should turn it on and sighup xinetd. If you go the xinetd route, that means that there won't be a dedicated rsync daemon running. You could elect to leave the xinetd config file disabled and run a daemon, if you like. However, Fedora doesn't supply an /etc/rsyncd.conf file, which you must create for rsync to work. With that set you should be able to run a "telnet localhost 873". If not, check the xinetd config files (if used). You can also try a "rsync --daemon --no-detach" to see if it outputs any errors about your config file (it can output some errors that way that can't make it into a log file, such as permission errors trying to create the log file). Hit Ctrl-C to kill it if it didn't die due to an error (an inability to bind error would be expected if you left xinetd enabled). ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
