Hello,
New to linux servers and to LQ
I'm trying to set up my trusty Fedora box, with rsync over ssh to backup my windows machines at home and I need help configuring the rsync server (I'm using DeltaCopy as the rsync client on the windows side)
I tried a few dry runs but it seems windows can't see the linux box, the rsync job just hangs for ever and never does anything
I should mention that ssh works fine.
here's a sample from my rsyncd.conf (192.168.0.50 is the windows machine)
1 max connections = 2
2 log file = /var/log/rsync.log
3 timeout = 300
4
5 [jerome]
6 comment = Backup test
7 hosts allow = 192.168.0.50/50
8 path = /opt3/photo/
9 read only = yes
10 list = yes
11 uid = root
12 gid = root
13 auth users = jerome
14 secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
[linux-server][/] ~> ps -ef | grep xinetd
root 8204 1 0 19:50 ? 00:00:00 xinetd -stayalive -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid
Am i forgetting something, ports that need opening? some other daemon i have to configure first?
Thanks !
