Have you checked your syslog output ? I had the same thing with permissions on /etc/rsyncd.secrets, where it was world readable. Try strict modes = false, and if that works you've got permission problems (or simple ls -l). The syslog will also put out comments that rsync is ignoring rsycd.secrets Alex Peyser -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Pitterling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 1:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: auth failed on module testshare Hi there, I have a RH7 testsystem setup with rsync -daemon. Now, I am trying to login via a FreeBSD 4.1 system by issuing: export RSYNC_PASSWORD=opi8 rsync -avz opi@felix::testshare /home/opi However, i receive following response: @ERROR: auth failed on module testshare All rsync'ing works fine, if I remove the password options in /etc/rsyncd.conf (i.e. auth and secrets lines). Here is my rsyncd.conf: ############################## uid = nobody gid = nobody use chroot = no max connections = 1 syslog facility = local5 pid file = /etc/rsyncd.pid [testshare] path = /home/opi/rsync comment = TestShare Repository auth users = opi secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets ############################## and my /etc/rsyncd.secrets file: tridge:mypass susan:herpass opi:opi8 ############################## Any ideas? I am running the rsync command in a SSH2 Telnet session via the SecureCRT client app. Thanks, Oliver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
