Hi list
I have a strange problem. I've tried for the first time to install and
use rsyncd. Rsync itself works it does everything that it should do,
except ask for a password. Google and the manual wasn't helpful i just
found howto's and no solution.
Here is what i did:
rsyncd.conf
==========pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
use chroot = yes
read only = yes
Simple example for enabling your own local rsync server
[gentoo-portage]
path = /usr/portage
comment = Gentoo Linux Portage tree
exclude = /distfiles /packages
uid = root
gid = root
auth user = dennis,test
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt
rsyncd.scrt
==========dennis:pass
test:tester
commandline to sync
==================rsync -r -v --progress --stats -o -g -p -t
rsync://professor/gentoo-portage .
Why is rsync never prompting for a password?
For any help thanks in advance.
Dennis

(You don't even need to restart the daemon if it's already running.) There should be warnings in the log file about "auth user" being an unknown parameter every time someone connects to the rsync daemon (in addition to when it starts), so please do check the log file when diagnosing daemon problems. ..wayne..

I did look in the log files, but on the wrong server :-). Thanks again Dennis
