Need more information - the rsyncd.conf, for instance. The hosts.allow, for another. You're best to start off with a basic conf file, and add complications one at a time until it breaks, then figure out what was wrong with that single item. Running rsyncd from inetd really helps with that - each session reads the file as it is at that moment, so testing can go really fast... one xterm editing the file and writing it after each mod, another testing after each mod. Start with this: +++start of /etc/rsyncd.conf++++++ [testmodule] path = /tmp +++end of /etc/rsyncd.conf++++++ Tools@willy /etc/mail>grep rsync /etc/inetd.conf /etc/services /etc/inetd.conf:rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon /etc/services:rsync 873/tcp rsyncd # rsync daemon Tools@willy /etc/mail> Don't forget to HUP your inetd after modifying services and inetd.conf

Classification: I have read the MAN page and the Rsync page and have set up an /etc/rsync.conf but I can't seem to get it working. I have tried starting the daemon and adding the correct entry on the server hosts.allow file, but I just get "Connection refused" from the server. Surely this can't be that difficult, but I am at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help?
