I did some experiments with running rsync in daemon mode both on V5R3 and on
V6R1 and could not make it work. (It is the daemon mode that is
interesting to me - it is an extremely efficient way of moving IFS files in
and out)

My guess was then that the mechanism for going in the background (detaching
the terminal) fails for some reason taking the rsync process down but that
could easily have been caused by a configuration file problem.

Can anyone confirm that they have successfully followed the instructions in
http://www.mcpressonline.com/operating-systems/linux-open-source/the-linux-l
etter-getting-in-rsync.html ?

Thanks, Jack. The config files that I am using are rsyncd.conf and
rsyncd.scrt in /etc. I played around with adding hosts and services files in
/etc to no avail. The article was helpful for installing, thanks, but
doesn't cover running in daemon mode. This 2003 article from MC Press Online
does:

etter-getting-in-rsync.html

Except for the RPM install, I believe I am doing what the author does in the
article. He doesn't mention anything in terms of config files beyond the
rsyncd.* files in/etc. As for software, we recently upgraded our hardware
and are at the latest cume.

Blake, found this link, name lookup failed sounds like a DNS or host name
problem possibly. I had not heard of rsync, I am going to read up more
about it.

Also, are you current on groups and cume ptfs.

Has anyone had success getting the rsync daemon to work in 7.1? I have

to synchronize files for our website from a development machine to the
IFS.
The rsync executable runs fine to sync files from one directory to
another
in the IFS (for example), but it fails when started as a daemon/server.
When I check, nothing is running on the default port 873.

Command:
rsync --daemon --log-file=/tmp/rsync.log
