I've built rsync with xinetd support and am trying to run it under xinetd but am failing. The error is (where .103 is the address of the local machine where xinetd is running): # rsync 192.168.1.103:: rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(794) [receiver=3.0.3] The log contains: Jul 29 07:20:08 indigo xinetd[26448]: START: rsync pid=26510 from=192.168.1.103 Jul 29 07:20:08 indigo xinetd[26510]: FAIL: rsync address from=192.168.1.103 Jul 29 07:20:08 indigo xinetd[26448]: EXIT: rsync status=0 pid=26510 duration=0(sec) What is very interesting is that if I just run rsyncd by itself, everything works just peachy. I can even connect and sync from other machines on my subnet. ONLY under xinetd is this failing. Here is my xinet.d/rsyncd: service rsync { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/rsync server_args = --daemon disable = no } And here is my /etc/rsyncd.conf: pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid motd file = /etc/rsync/rsyncd.motd max connections = 5 use chroot = yes uid = nobody gid = nobody log file = /var/log/rsync.log log format = %t %a %m %f %b syslog facility = local3 timeout = 300 [gentoo-portage] path = /usr/portage comment = Gentoo Portage exclude = distfiles/ packages/ There is nothing in /var/log/rsyncd.log. Please help, this is really irritating.

running under xinetd works fine on my server rebuild things with simple CFLAGS and if things still dont work, turn on xinetd/rsync verbose debugging if you still cant track it down, check perms and such, and then e-mail the rsync mailing list for assistance ...
