'port' is a global parameter for rsyncd.conf, not a module one. You need to put it above the '[data]' module. See http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsyncd.conf.html for details. Also, make sure you're not specifying '--port' on the command line, which would supersede any value in the conf file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
