Hello,

I am working on the initial implementation of rsync here and am having
trouble getting it to use the "secrets file" (not prompt for password).

I have the daemon running on the host (rsync -daemon as root), have an
/etc/rsyncd.conf file with 1 module in it, inside the module [Test] I have
"secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secure"  which has username:password as the only
contents and is file mode 600 owned by root.  Rsyncd.conf also has some
stadard entries in it outside the module.

When I connect up with username, using 
rsync -r ./* username@hostname::Test <mailto:username@hostname::Test> 

It still prompts me for the password.

I am not real comfortable with the env var (too open) and am trying to get
it to go this way.  

Any ideas what I am missing here?

PS - this is Solaris to Solaris
