unable to open configuration file rsyncd.conf
Hello,
Rsync is working great for me right now, using version 2.6.5 on two
Solaris 9 V100 servers. Box A is the source and box B is the destination,
and also box B is my rsync server box. Box A is a rsync client. Yesterdar
from Box B I pulled 250 meg just fine from box A with rsync.
Today from the client I want to just copy over to the server what files
have changed today.
So my command from the client is the following:
/usr/local/bin/rsync --partial --progress --stats -az -e "ssh -p 22"
/"directory on the client" USER@boxA::modulename
I do get a connection to Box B but after I enter the user's password thru
ssh, I get the following the client:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=434): entered
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=434): about to call exit(12)
this is what is produced on the server /var/adm/messages:
rsyncd[19422]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] rsync: rsync: unable to open
configuration file "rsyncd.conf": No such file or directory (2)
rsyncd[19422]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] rsync error: syntax or usage
error (code 1) at clientserver.c(512)
rsyncd[19436]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] rsync: rsync: unable to open
configuration file "rsyncd.conf": No such file or directory (2)
rsyncd[19436]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] rsync error: syntax or usage
error (code 1) at clientserver.c(512)
On the server I am running rsync in daemon mode by using this command,
/usr/local/bin/rsync --deamon --config /etc/rsyncd.conf, and the daemon is
running, but the client is still get the unable to find /etc/rsyncd.conf.
Here is my rsyncd.conf file on the Box B.
transfer logging = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsync.pid
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
use chroot = no
max connections = 28
address = 10.210.4.64
[es0028]
path = /pc1/snapshot/hourly.0/infermos/
comment = es0028 backup
Any assistance would be greatful, and thanks in advance.

If you're not doing that as root, the default location for the config file is rsyncd.conf in the current directory (typically $HOME). Hence it can't find rsyncd.conf in ~USER/. This isn't stated that clearly in the manpage, this might be mentioned in the CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM section... the distinction between that section and the RUNNING AN RSYNC SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM section is a bit vague as well.
