Hi all, I am trying to get an rsync server running on my Gentoo server box in order to run backups to the server from my other machines. I have a very simple rsyncd.conf file, (see below), and from what I can tell, I should be able to rsync some files across from a different box.
The command I am using to rsync from a different box is: rsync -avz test.xml 192.168.0.100:rsync I have also tried the following with the same results: rsync test.xml 192.168.0.100:rsync The result is that I am continually prompted for a password. As far as I can tell from the rsyncd.conf no password should be required (which is fine as the rsync port cannot be reached from outside the intranet). The rsyncd: # This line is required by the /etc/init.d/rsyncd script pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid use chroot = yes read only = false log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log # Simple example for enabling your own local rsync server [rsync] path = /srv/rsync comment = Main Rsync Server Any help appreciated. -- Ant... -- Anthony Roy This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
