Here are my config files: sun:~# cat /etc/default/rsync # defaults file for rsync daemon mode # start rsync in daemon mode from init.d script? # only allowed values are "true", "false", and "inetd" # Use "inetd" if you want to start the rsyncd from inetd, # all this does is prevent the init.d script from printing a message # about not starting rsyncd (you still need to modify inetd's config yourself). RSYNC_ENABLE=true # which file should be used as the configuration file for rsync. # This file is used instead of the default /etc/rsyncd.conf # Warning: This option has no effect if the daemon is accessed # using a remote shell. When using a different file for # rsync you might want to symlink /etc/rsyncd.conf to # that file. RSYNC_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/rsyncd.conf # what extra options to give rsync --daemon? # that excludes the --daemon; that's always done in the init.d script # Possibilities are: # --address=123.45.67.89 (bind to a specific IP address) # --port=8730 (bind to specified port; default 873) RSYNC_OPTS='' # Don't forget to create an appropriate config file, # else the daemon will not start. sun:~# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf pid file = /var/run/rsync.pid log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log [www] path = /var/www/ use chroot = false read only = true list = false uid = 0 gid = 0 apt-get dist-upgrade shows: Preparing to replace rsync 2.6.9-6 (using .../rsync_3.0.2-1_amd64.deb) ...

Do you need any other infos (log files, debug etc?) Thanks, Stephan
