I am trying to pull files froma remote server. here is what I have on rsyncd.conf on the remote server: [test] comment = TEST path = /home/test read only = no uid = root gid = root and on the local server I run # rsync -avR --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync remote_server::test /home/test and I am getting this error: @ERROR: invalid gid root rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (87 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342) is my rsync syntax wrong or it is something else? Please help. Thanks -Daniel
