Setup -------- remote box = frank module = suz auth user for module suz = dirt login on remote box = tree Attempted command: rsync -avz -e "ssh -l tree" dirt@frank::suz /my/path/to/download/to/ SSH works and I enter my login for tree but then rsynch fails: rsync: unable to open configuration file "rsyncd.conf": No such file or directory rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at clientserver.c(502) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) rsyncd.conf does exist in /usr/local/etc/ and I can pull stuff down from the module suz without SSH: rsync -avz dirt@frank::suz /my/path/to/download/to/ Why with the addition of SSH is it looking for rsyncd.conf? michael
