rsync asking for user authentication even with no "auth users"
Hi all, My rsync server was working fine and dandy with only the "hosts allow" method of authentication until my hosting company switched servers. Now after changing my config to reflect the new IP and running rsync mydomain:myrepository/ from the server, rsync asks for authentication for my remote username. Even with this simple config: log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [myrepository] path = /path/to/myrepository comment = My Repository it still asks for auth!! Any idea what might be up? Thanks much, Ben ___________________ Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento ben@incomumdesign.com http://www.incomumdesign.com

See the manpage for the difference between remote-shell usage (:) and daemon usage (:: or rsync://). ..wayne..
