Hi guys, can anyone suggest why, when I connect to my rsync server, I'm not prompted for a username and password but instead I'm only prompted for a password? I have "auth users = username" set in /etc/rsyncd.conf and a corresponding entry in /etc/rsyncd.secrets but still rsync only asks for a password.

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?

rsync not prompting for username, only password
That's just the way it works. You have to tell it what user you want it
to connect as. I think it will use $USER if not specified otherwise, even
with ::.
rsync user@server::module/path
