So I'm having difficulties getting rsyncd to do authentication
properly.
here's what happens:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ rsync rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/testu
Password:
@ERROR: auth failed on module testu
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (89 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(190)
not so great. I can't seem to find anything in google about this
particular error.
here is the relevant parts of /etc/rsyncd.conf:
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
# another module here
[testu]
comment = thing for testu
path = /home/testu
read only = no
uid = testu
auth users = testu
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
There are some other modules after this one and one before. I can give
you the whole file if people think it's relevant.
here is rsyncd.secrets:
olivian:password
testu:testu
testu is also a user which I've just added using adduser. Presumably
the user needs to be present in /etc/passwd etc. for the 'uid'
directive to work. Does it have to be there for 'auth users' to work?
I suspect not.
Apparently you also need line breaks after the lines in the secrets
file. And I do.
As far as I can see, I'm doing everything correctly (although
obviously I'm probably not) and this is just about the simplest
possible authenticated module setup. rsync works fine without
authentication: if I remove the 'auth users' you get a directory
listing like you'd expect.
clues, anyone?
