rsync - Jan 2005 - How to use rsync

Hi,
I am having one machine which i want to configure as a rsync server.
Onthe machine I had kept the following file

/etc/rsyncd.conf

motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock

[rsync-test]
        path = /home/xidcit/test
        comment = XIDC Rsync Server
        uid = nobody
        gid = nobody
        read only = no
        list = yes
        auth users = xidcit,rsync-user
        secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt

I am having another machine.  From the 1st machine i want to copy one file
test1 to the second machine. For this I am running the following command
on second machine.
 rsync -av --rsh="ssh -l xidcit" xidcit@xidc-rsync::rsync-test/test1
test1
Then it is asking for the password
and gives the welcome message ie rsyncd.motd
gives the following message
.
Can anybody advise me  about the mistake i am doing.

Thanks in advance.

Since you are using rsync daemon over ssh, the daemon is being run
as the ssh login user (xidcit) and not as root.  File permissions
now become important.  These must be writeable by the non-root user:

  log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
  pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
  lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock

But you really don't want that.  Instead, create an rsyncd.conf
file in the home directory of the login user and define paths
for the above files that are writable by that user.
