Re: [cobalt-users] [550] Rsync help needed

Hi!

Make sure you have line 
rsync           873/tcp

in /etc/services

and line

rsync   stream  tcp      nowait   root    /usr/bin/rsync  rsyncd               
--daemon

(one line!) 
in /etc/inetd.conf

You will need to restart inetd if modifying it: 

killall -1 inetd

Dmitry

P.S.: I have rsync 2.6.0 (fresh release) rpm and src.rpm package, can 
email both to you if you're interested.
