Thanks for the reply and my apologies - I took the wrong line from the
log (from a previous set of trials). The instigating line from the
rsync receiver (trying to rsync the [minas] module) is:
rsync -ar -vvv rsyncu...@xxx.xxx.uci.edu::minas .
opening tcp connection to xxx.xxx.uci.edu port 873
opening connection using --server --sender -vvvlogDtpr . minas
Password: ******
receiving file list ...
rsync: link_stat "." (in minas) failed: Permission denied (13)
received 0 names
done
recv_file_list done
sent 4 bytes received 17 bytes 3.82 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(1385) [receiver=2.6.9]
_exit_cleanup(code=0, file=main.c, line=1385): about to call exit(23)
and the response from the log contains:
2009/02/13 09:06:22 [9818] connect from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
2009/02/13 09:06:28 [9818] rsync on minas from
rsyncu...@xxx.xxx.uci.edu (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
2009/02/13 09:06:28 [9818] building file list
2009/02/13 09:06:28 [9818] rsync: link_stat "." (in minas) failed:
Permission denied (13)
to keep everything coherent, I changed the rsyncd.conf to narrow it
down to this dir, rather than the whole [home] module as I wrote
yesterday. The above errors were generated with the rsyncd.conf
below:
# GLOBAL OPTIONS
log file=/var/log/rsyncd
pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid
auth users = [rsyncuser]
uid = backuppc
gid = backuppc
