Hi all, I've just experimented with the "hosts allow" option for rsync running on Cygwin on Win2K. I first did a reversed lookup for that the particular host and filled the result in in rsyncd.conf, like this: [con_fs1] comment CON_FS1 path = /cygdrive/d/backup/con_fs1 read only = no list = yes hosts allow = conns01.watco.be The result is an "access denied" for that particular host. Filling in the IP-address works though. Is there an issue with reversed lookups and Cygwin I should be aware of? Thx already! Bart
