I'm guessing that something in your rsync setup on the client is wrong.
514 is the shell service - that's plain rsh.
You _are_ saying
rsync -avn server::something
i.e. 2 colons, not one? Two talks to an rsync service, one expects to
use rsh or ssh to invoke an rsync in slave mode at the far end.
To check:
- on the server, does
server% netstat -an
show a service listening on port 873
- can you rsync from the server itself?
server% rsync localhost::
to get a listing, or
server% rsync -avn localhost::/something .
Personally, I suspect the lack of a "::". And by god! close that 514 firewall
hole - rsh is as insecure as things get. Worse than telnet!
