According to a quick web search, it looks like rsync error code 5 indicates authorization problems.  Here are a couple links which may provide solutions:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/71719/rsync-error-starting-client-server-protocol
https://bovitron.com/blogostu/2019/04/14/rsync-error-starting-client-server-protocol-code-5/

Beyond that, I'm not really sure, because I've only used the rsync XferMethod, not rsyncd.

Also, FYI, I didn't receive an attachment with your mail; I suspect the list manager software may be set up to remove them.

Hi All,

After setting up SSH, Rsyncd and Backuppc, I tried to run a backup on two different computers and got the following log file error:

2021-09-22 13:22:08 Created directory /var/lib/backuppc/pc/supercrunch  
<http://127.0.0.1/backuppc/index.cgi?host=supercrunch>/refCnt
2021-09-22 13:22:08 full backup started for directory /etc
2021-09-22 13:22:09 Got fatal error during xfer (rsync error: error starting 
client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1683) [Receiver=3.1.3.0])

My config.pl file for the host is attached.

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Gary R.
