Title: RH 8.0: Rsync problem

I am unable to rsync from a RH 7.2 machine to a RH 8.0 machine.

I CAN rsh as root from the 7.2 machine to the 8.0 machine.

I have added the 7.2 machine to /root/.rhosts (file perms = 0600) and also defined the hostname in /etc/hosts
/root/.rhosts:
ranger.syrrx.com
ranger
/etc/hosts:
10.250.200.50   ranger.syrrx.com        ranger

I added the '-h' option to rshd in /etc/xinetd.d/rsh

I have enabled rsync as well in /etc/xinetd.d and verified that it is listening (netstat -a | grep LIST)

What am I misssing? Rsync times out with the following error:
ranger:~ #rsync  -rvlopgt mydir/ root@bilabong:/root/
bilabong.syrrx.com: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)

I can rsync from the 7.2 to several other 7.2 and Solaris 8 systems with no problems. So I am pretty sure the problem lies somewhere in the 8.0 machine.

Thanks for any help, I am sure it is soemthing little I missed.
