Hi
I am new to this list - hello all.
I think I might be re asking a well trodden question but here goes....
I have cygwin set up on a Windows XP box and intend to use rsync
(version 2.6.3) as a client to push a bunch of file to a debain (Sarge)
server.
The Debain server runs a rsync daemon (version 2.6.4).
I have set up the system to use a secrets file at both ends.
When I try to my files from he XP box to Debian. The following occurs.
If the secrets file fail (ie i originally had the wrong file owner) and
manually entered the password, all file move across and receive a code
23, not all file where.. I found that all files had in fact been move
and assumed that the secrets file on the XP end caused this error.
Once I managed to find a user:group combination on the XP box that
appeared to be accepted by the rsync client, I know receive the
following error:
C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\rsync -vrt -password-file=c:\cygwin\etc\rsyncd.secrets
/cygdrive/c/Shared/Downloads/Animations sophos@192.168.4.53::test
@ERROR: auth failed on module test
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/io.c(359)
And in the syslog file at the server:
Jan 5 05:27:14 aserver rsyncd[2289]: name lookup failed for
192.168.1.2: Name or service not known
Jan 5 05:27:14 aserver rsyncd[2289]: auth failed on module test from
unknown (192.168.1.2)
Any ideas of what could be causing this?
I have read the manual, (well bits of it)and think I have the
rsyncd.conf correct and the sercrets file.
Here they are:
Conf:
[test]
path = /home/test/test1
read only = false
auth users = test
hosts allow = 192.168.1.2
secrets file = /etc/shh_secret
persmissions 600
owner root:root
Secrets:
test:password
permissions 600
owner root:root
Windows XP cygwin permission 600
Windows XP cygwin owner <my login name>:Administrators (i have admin
access )
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks
Buggy

In your copy command you are telling rsync to authorize itself using username sophos, but no password for that username exists. ..wayne..

In my attempt to cover the real users and password I accidentally named everything test. It should be: Conf: [amodule] path = /home/test/test1 read only = false auth users = test hosts allow = 192.168.1.2 secrets file = /etc/shh_secret persmissions 600 owner root:root Secrets: test:password permissions 600 owner root:root Windows XP cygwin permission 600 Windows XP cygwin owner <my login name>:Administrators (i have admin access ) Is there a possibility that there is a conflict between cygwin rsync 2.6.3 and debain rsync 2.6.4? Or could it still be a Windows persmission/ownership issue? Buggy
