The first thing i'd look for is to make sure that
/home/brad/data/emailbackup already exists. Every time i've had chroot
fail, it was an invalid path.
Once a typo; once, i hadn't made the directory yet, and once, I didn't
have permission to cd to the directory as the user in the uid field.

Subject: ERROR: chroot failed
Classification:
I am trying to use rsync to transfer some directories from a RedHat 7.0
box
to a RedHat 7.1 rsync server via a cron job.
The cron command line:
00 00 * * * /usr/local/bin/emailbackup > /tmp/backup.log 2>&1; mail
-s
"Rsync Backup Log" my@emailaddres < /tmp/backup.log
The 7.1 rsyncd.cond;
[home]
path = /home/brad/data/emailbackup
read only = no
uid = root
gid = root
The 7.0 client command:
rsync -avt /home homeserver::home
The emailed log file:
building file list ... done
home/brad/
home/brad/.bash_history
home/brad/Sent
home/brad/Trash
home/sales/
home/sales/Sent
home/sales/Trash
home/brad/

wrote 2890098 bytes read 494604 bytes 9062.12 bytes/sec
total size is 1946474433 speedup is 575.08
@ERROR: chroot failed
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Regards,
Brad
