The configuration you show has only a user matching the module name as an
auth user, and thus, the condition you describe is exactly what you have
configured. Add another username to the "auth users" list for the
unixadm
module and make him an entry in the secrets file, and you should be able
to use that user on the unixadm module.

Subject: strange password problem with rsync
Classification:
Hi guys, I am experiencing a very strange problem with passwords and
username with rsync.
I have a "auth users" line in my /etc/rsyncd.conf file (see below) and
a
corresponding username and password in my /etc/rsyncd.secrets. The strange
thing is is that authentication for the module listed in /etc/rsyncd.conf
(unixadm) only works IF the username in /etc/rsyncd.secrets is the same as
the module name in /etc/rsyncd.conf. If I try any other username in
/etc/rsyncd.secrets and /etc/rsyncd.secrets I get "@ERROR: auth failed on
module" messages. Can anyone shed some light of what I am experiencing and
how to fix it?
Here is my /etc/rsyncd.conf and /etc/rsyncd.secrets files:
/etc/rsyncd.conf
****************
syslog facility = local3
max connections = 1
[unixadm]
path = /home/unixadm/web
read only = no
list = yes
uid = unixadm
gid = staff
hosts allow = x.x.x.x
hosts deny = *
auth users = unixadm
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
/etc/rsyncd.secrets
*******************
unixadm:password here
Thanks in advance,
Stewart

The manual said install Windows 98 or better..........so I installed
Linux!
....so what if my password is the same as my dog's name. My dog's name
is
m7u#$12a and I change it every week..........sit m7u#$12a sit....m7u#$12a
roll over, that's a good dog.
When a computer from Sun Microsystems crashes does that mean the sun has
gone down or is that a sun set?....and when it reboots, do we call that a
sun rise?
