Greetings again. I am at home now, so I will check this tomorrow (I am not the one who configured rsyncd.conf). But if you are right, would it be possible to have rsync spit out a different error message for this circumstance? A "vanishing" message does not describe the problem. If the link exist, could rsync verify if the symlink is absolute and if chroot is on? If both conditions are true, a more appropriate message could be printed. A message which would not cause a newbie like me to post. :) Thanks for the quick support. Hans Deragon - -- Consultant en informatique/Software Consultant Deragon Informatique inc.
