Hi people I want to use rsync between my Red Hat 9.0 Linux installed computers. I made the basic configurations for rsync. But the ports seems to be closed for rsync(Port no 783) when I run (from the client ) telnet x.x.x.x 873 I get the following error message Trying x.x.x.x... telnet: connect to address x.x.x.x: Connection refused for rsync x.x.x.x:: (from the client) I get the following error: rsync x.x.x.x:: rsync: failed to connect to x.x.x.x: Connection refused rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97) But cat /etc/xinetd.d/rsync service rsync { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/rsync server_args = --daemon log_on_failure += USERID } That is I changed disable = yes to disable =no Furthermore grep /etc/services includes rsync 873/tcp # rsync rsync 873/udp # rsync Furthermore I edited /etc/rsyncd.confcsuch that all are permitted to connect to the server. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
