Hi all,
I keep getting the following error when trying to use ssh: (with rsync
2.5.7)
[root@drone2 root]# rsync --rsh="ssh -lpaul" clinton::
paul@clinton's password:
rsync: server sent "" rather than greeting
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1043)
...while using root works! ie,
[root@drone2 root]# rsync --rsh="ssh -lroot" clinton::
root@clinton's password:
usr5prod usr5 production
usr3prod usr3 production
I can open a normal ssh shell on clinton just fine as user paul. I've
looked all over the web and can't find any clues. Can anyone help me here?
My setup is:
[root@clinton etc]# cat rsyncd.conf
uid = root
gid = root
#use chroot = yes
max connections = 2
#auth users = rangi, paul
#secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
[usr5prod]
path = /usr5/production
comment = usr5 production
[usr3prod]
path = /usr3/production/
comment = usr3 production
[root@clinton etc]# ls -l rsyncd.*
-rw------- 1 root root 250 Feb 4 00:39 rsyncd.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 32 Feb 4 15:11 rsyncd.secrets
ie, I've turned off user authentication for the moment. I've also tried
uid/gid as paul and chown paul:paul rsyncd.conf as well. No luck.
help!
Cheers,
Paul
