I hope not. ;-) I tried rsync with ssh first, but that didn't work out
("unable to read 4 bytes"), so I tried rsyncd instead. Now the sshd service on
the Win2k3-machine refuses to start for some reason, it was off this morning.
Sshd on the WinXP-box still runs...
The rsyncd test tells me:
r...@mach012 ~/ [0]# rsync -avv xxx.yyy.zzz.nnn::starforge2_users
opening tcp connection to xxx.yyy.zzz.nnn port 873
opening connection using --server --sender -vvlogDtpr --list-only .
starforge2_users
Password:
@ERROR: auth failed on module starforge2_users
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1296)
[receiver=2.6.8]
r...@mach012 ~/ [0]#
It feels like I'm getting at roads end with this. Things that work on one
Win-machine doesn't on another, it's so, so, frustrating. 8-/
