rsync - Feb 2002 - Trouble getting rsync to work....

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?

Regards,
Brad

Please post the command and rsyncd.conf that you're using.

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
