Hi,
This is the first time I have setup rsync.conf like,
max connections = 20
syslog facility = local3
read only = true
hosts allow = 192.168.10.10
[qmail-control]
comment = qmail-control
path = /var/qmail/control
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = root
gid = root
Then from 192.168.10.10, I tried,
rsync -avz -e ssh root@192.168.10.1:/var/qmail/control/* .
and it worked. So far so good. But then again it worked from 192.168.10.11
too and that too for other directories too. Even deleting the rsync.conf
file had no effect. What is wrong here? Is this not the way to
use rsync client?
With warm regards,
-Payal

So far so good. But then again it worked from 192.168.10.11Rsyncd.conf is only used when running rsync as a daemon; when invoking it via ssh like you do, the rsyncd.conf isn't used at all. (It's possible to start rsync in daemon mode over an ssh connection, but that's a bit exotic IMHO.) Also note that you passed a wildcard, it's better to let rsync do the expansion, which it will do as you gave the -a option. You connect to the rsync daemon by using a command line like: rsync -avz 192.168.10.1::qmail-control . Of course, you will have to have started the daemon on 192.168.10.1 first. Paul Slootman

You need to use '--config rsync.conf' for a start. :-)

But using the example you gave I can still get the files,> rsync -avz 192.168.10.1::qmail-control .How exactly do I start the daemon? I have it now in xinetd file as, disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/rsync server_args = --daemon log_on_failure += USERID Thanks in advance.
