My son and I have set up a VPN, with the intention of exchanging files using rsync. We have both run rsync --daemon, and I am able to connect to his server and download the files he is offering. However, he cannot connect to my daemon. I know it is running as I can connect to it with rsync localhost:: I have opened port 873 for TCP & UDP in my router and switched off my firewall I have enabled rsync in xinetd via the Yast2 module I don't know where else to look. Can anyone help please? -- Bob SuSE Linux 10.2, KDE 3.5.5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-networking+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-networking+help@opensuse.org

did the router redirect this port to your computer?

Originally, yes, but things were'n't working so I removed port redirection. I shall try it again, and report back. Many thanks, Michael. -- Bob SuSE Linux 10.2, KDE 3.5.5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-networking+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-networking+help@opensuse.org

OK. It's working now, but I'm not sure which change did it. Possibilities include: 1 Enabling port redirection in my router 2 Opening port 873 in the SuSE firewall 3 Changing the settings for rsync in xinetd.conf. Open Yast/Network Services/Network Services (xinetd), click the 'enable' radio button and scroll down to the rsync entry. Click edit. My entry showed Server: /usr/sbin/rsyncd, Server Arguments --daemon. I changed the Server line to read /usr/bin/rsync. My money is on this being the cause of my original failure. -- Bob SuSE Linux 10.2, KDE 3.5.5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-networking+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-networking+help@opensuse.org
