Wang: I take it you mean that your mail bounced. Your domain is probably
in the RBL or something.
The commandline you give is an attempt to contact a rsyncd server. That
means that the server you're contacting would have /etc/rsyncd.conf, and
either an appropriate entry in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, or would
be started manually with "rsync --daemon". I'm guessing
that's not the
case. The default port for an rsyncd is 873, so there's no reason to
specify it on your commandline.
There are three transport used by rsync:
local, which uses either shared memory or pipes - my best guess.
tcp connection to an rsyncd server.
tcp connection through an external transport (rsh, ssh).
local probably already works for you.
to use an rsync server, set one up (man rsyncd.conf). you CAN run it as
non-root, in which case, you will be using the --port= parameter, so you
can designate a port above 1024.
To use an external transport, you must have one that works without a
password. set it up so you can "rsh server uname -a" or "ssh
server uname
-a", and that tells you that you have a working external transport. After
that condition is satisfied, if you can use the transport to do "rsync
--version", you can do the rsync, if not, you'll need either to get
rsync
into your path or specify the location of the remote rsync with
--rsync-path=.

Hi!
Thank you very much for your help.I tried to write to
rsync@lists.samba.org ,but was sent back soon.I have to disturb you again
:P
The problem now is when I remove the -e ssh parameter, the rsync can't
connect to the remote host.
When I try to use
# rsync --port 873 192.1.4.231::
to change to tcp transport, it gave the prompt
"fail to connect to 192.1.4.231",
what is the problem? How can I use rsync directly through tcp but not ssh,
or how can I use rsync through ssh but without inputing the password?
