Hello, I am trying to run an rsync server from xinetd. I have a desktop connected via eth0 to a DSL line and eth1 connected to a little hub. My laptop is on the hub too. When I start the rsync server from the prompt, I can access it from my laptop just fine (on the internal network). But, when I run it from xinetd, I get this message in my daemon.log:
Nov 10 14:48:25 localhost xinetd[2468]: warning: can't get client address: Invalid argument Nov 10 14:48:25 localhost xinetd[2468]: refused connect from <no address> This message appears 10 times and then rsyncd is "deactivated because of looping." In what form or from where is xinetd asking for identification and what is my laptop failing to provide? I thought it might be related to ident, but all those services are running on my laptop. I checked the xinetd docs and webpage, but did not see anything related. When searching google groups, someone had a similar problem with linuxconf running from xinetd, but there were no solutions posted. Thanks for any suggestions. Brian Flaherty
