Hans: Unless your server is in a completely trusted network, I'd suggest you put down some include/exclude rules for that module, because people can poke about anywhere they want. [module] path = /only/directory/you/want/to/give/them use chroot = no
user does rsync server::module/../../../../../../../etc/security/passwd . Permissions (don't put "uid = 0" in the rsyncd.conf) can prevent that one, but rsync -a server::module/../../../../../../.. . is probably something you don't want. Tim Conway Unix System Administration Contractor - IBM Global Services desk:3032734776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yep, I have set "use chroot = no" for the module and it works. The symlinks I have are created automatically by a tool and are absolute. But since "use chroot = no" handles well absolute links from root/, the transfer works A1.
