Since rsyncd is launched by systemd, I would say that no pid file is needed: systemd will prevent simultaneous launch of rsyncd. Can you try without spicifying "pid file" in rsyncd.conf ? What is the content of the rsyncd.service file on your system ? On Fedora it is a system (not user) service: cat /lib/systemd/system/rsyncd.service [Unit] Description=fast remote file copy program daemon ConditionPathExists=/etc/rsyncd.conf Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target [Service] EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/rsyncd ExecStart=/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach "$OPTIONS" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target -- francis -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
