First I would make sure that rsync is running (look at ps -ef for the rsync process). From the command line you should be able to:
rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::root password: [password] and get the contents of your root directory listing. The username is the username specified in your conf file (/etc/rsyncd.conf) and matches an entry in your secrets file (/etc/rsyncd.secrets). The password is the password from the secrets file. One caveat is that if your password is more than 8 characters then you will need to put it in a file and use the --password-file option on rsync (many systems will not properly take passwords over 8 characters). Once you have rsync working from the command line then you are ready to tackle the BackupPC stuff.
