As Wayne said, this may be because xinetd is competing with your manually-started daemon for control of port 873. You should either enable the xinetd service with chkconfig or start the daemon manually with "rsync --daemon", but not both. If that isn't the problem, run "netstat -a --inet --program" as root to see what process is listening on the port. Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
