Back again, now a first step is done: against my usual convincments, I
*removed* the quotation marks from the beginning and the end of the
"path" definition.
 
Now I connect passwordless in ssh, but when I do rsync, I am asked for
password:
 
$ ssh [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> 
Last login: Mon Jan 24 16:43:43 2011 from REMOTEHOST.COM
server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://localhost
Public
server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://localhost/Public
Password:

Here I get the directory contents listed...
 
What's wrong here?
 
TIA.

        Subject: [BackupPC-users] OSX SL Server as client: doesn't allow
me to backup
        
        

        Hy there.
        
        I'm trying to configure an OSX SL Server to act as a client for
my remote BackupPC nightly backups.
        I'm used to do rsync-over-ssh, thus I managed first of all to
get ssh working in a passwordless mode.
        Afterwards I tried connecting and manually checking if things
would work, so here I get:
        
        storebox:~# su - backuppc
        $ ssh [email protected]
        Last login: Mon Jan 24 15:12:41 2011 from REMOTEHOST.COM
        server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://192.168.1.200/
        Public
        server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://192.168.1.200/Public
        Password:
        @ERROR: chdir failed
        rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c(1398) [receiver=2.6.9]
        
        My configuration:
        
        server:~ admin$ cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
        log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
        pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
        lock file = /var/run/rsyncd.lock
        use chroot = no
        
        uid = nobody
        gid = nobody
        
        read only = true
        
        list = true
        
        hosts allow = *
        
        secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt
        
        # Begin the module definitions
        [Public]
        path = "/Volumes/Server HD/Shared Items/Public"
        read only = false
        transfer logging = true
        auth users = admin
        
        With the admin user, I can browse and create/delete
files/folders underneath the path defined in the "Public" module.
        
        What may be wrong here?
        
        Kind regards,
