jeez, first jtate and now you poking fun at my pr0n collection? well, i guess that's a better legacy to leave behind than the "bob/bob" fiasco.

as for your original question, i don't know why it fails to work (i've only used rsyncd in a push mode, not pull). maybe the slash between var and log needs to be escaped? or perhaps you could symlink /log to /var/log on the target machine and put /log in the rsyncd.conf include?

Basically, the first part of the thread asked how to configure rsyncd.conf so it will back up /home/jtower/pr0n and /var/log without pulling in all of /home and /var.

One interesting difference between the two methods:
- using rsync/rsyncd, the list of files to back up is on the client.
- using rsync/ssh, the list of files to back up is on the server.
