What does /var/log/rsyncd.log on the remote end say? You might want to start it with '-vv'.
Nothing. It didn't even exit until just now when I "touch"d it. And I was running the rsync commands as root so that should have been sufficient permissions to create an entry in /var/log. (I would like to run this as a crontab job.) Furthermore I'm not running an internal firewall so that possibility is also ruled out. cheers; sol -- ============================== Sol Hanna solATautonomonDOTnet
