I have read the MAN page and the Rsync page and have set up an /etc/rsync.conf but I can't seem to get it working. I have tried starting the daemon and adding the correct entry on the server hosts.allow file, but I just get "Connection refused" from the server. Surely this can't be that difficult, but I am at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help? Regards, Brad

After lots of testing, I believe that I have discovered my problem. I am trying to use rsync to synchronise a Red Hat 7.2 Server and a RedHat 7.3 Server and they have different versions of rsync on them. I set up 2 x Red Hat 7.3 machines, both running rsync-2.5.4-2 and they work fine, transferring files via rsync with no problem. Here is my test rsyncd.conf on the server

Hi, we have a storageserver (Centos 6.4) with a dualport Intel 10G X520-2 Adapter.

Are there issues between different versions of rsync? Specifically I have a 2.4.6 on solaris 8 pushing to a 2.3.0 on solaris 2.6 over ssh(F-Secure version). The issue that I am seeing is that when I use the following command: rsync --delete -rlvp -e ssh2 $localdir user@host:remotedir The user and group are different on both boxes(neither being root).

Hi, I need to mirror some Linux directories on a Win2000 box but the owner, group and permissions are lost. I realize Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership etc? Is there a better solution?

Hi all, I have started the rsync in deamon mode. When I use the following command: rsync --port 9876 u018::treeA it seems to work fine but no files are copied from the server.
