Hello all,
A little summary of my scenario:
I'm using the latest version of BackupPC to backup Windows XP computers that
are behind routers on our network. I've set up the client-configuration files
on the Ubuntu server running BackupPC to override the ClientNameAlias option -
I've set it to the router name for each config file. I've also overriden the
ports for each file, starting with 873 then moving to 1873, 2873, etc.
assigning a different port to each computer. I've then setup the router to
forward these ports to each computer, respecitively. However, I'm having a
problem setting up Rsyncd on each computer - I've setup rsyncd.conf for each
computer as given:
[data]
path = e:/data
comment = data share to back up
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
strict modes = false
read only = false
list = false
port = 1873 (this changes according to what the server has configured
for each computer)
I then run services.bat, and verify that the service is running. I've set up
Windows firewall to unblock port 1873 (or the respective port). The problem
is, when I go to run BackupPC I check the XferLOG for the computer, and I get
an "inet connect: Connection" refused error on port 1873.
I've narrowed the problem down to this:
I run "netstat -a" from the Windows computer and see that TCP computer:1873 is
not even listed. However, TCP computer:873 is in the listening state.
Disabling the rsyncd service removes that line, and enabling it brings it back.
It seems that even though I specified in rsyncd.conf, port = 1873, the daemon
still listens on 873.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
