depending on whether rsyncd reads the secrets file before or after chroot() that would be either /etc/rsyncd.secrets or /home/bitt/etc/rsyncd.secrets. The rsyncd.conf(5) man page isn't explicit on this. > I can't see the problem. It works fine when I turn off authentication. > Any ideas. Try moving the file to /home/bitt/etc/rsyncd.secrets. I'm not sure if that is the problem, but it's easy enough to try. Apart from that, what are the permissions of the secrets file? See the 'strict modes' entry in the rsyncd.conf man page for details.
