Need more information - the rsyncd.conf, for instance. The hosts.allow, for another. You're best to start off with a basic conf file, and add complications one at a time until it breaks, then figure out what was wrong with that single item. Running rsyncd from inetd really helps with that - e

Alternatively, if the users need to do the writing themselves (checkpointing a project, for instance), you should set aside a seperate module for each one. It will be a hassle for you to take care of the passwords, and they will be stored in plain text, though (one hopes) secure. If they're

Check the server's log. By default it goes to syslog, but you can also make it go to a file with a "log file = " in rsyncd.conf. For security reasons the rsync daemon mode doesn't give away much information to the client. Make sure rsyncd.conf is not group-writable, that's a common problem. -
