Server: x226.rbhs.lan running BackupPC 2.1.2 (old I know)
Client: W7 SP1 running cygwin-rsyncd-2.6.8_0
BackupPC reports “auth failed on module cDrive”.
The rsyncd.log on the W7 client reports “connect from x226.rbhs.lan; password
mismatch”.
1. I’ve double, triple and quadruple checked the
password in rsyncd.secrets and /mnt/backuppc/pc/daved-hp/config.pl.
2. I’ve removed the password from the backuppc account
user login, the secrets file and the client’s config.pl file on the
server and get the same errors.
3. “strict modes = false” is set in the
rsyncd.conf on the client.
4. The W7 client account “backuppc” is listed in
the Backup Operators group on the client. The client account login pwd is the
same as the rsyncd.secrets pwd.
5. The C: drive on the client is not shared; it shouldn’t
need to be because of #4 above. When I do share it as “cDrive” with
client account “backupp” having full control of the share, the
result is the same.
6. Rsync is running as a service on the W7 client.
7. The firewall allows traffic from/to the backuppc server. When
I shut off the firewall, backuppc and rsyncd report the same error condition.
The firewall is actually controlled by Symantec Endpoint 11.
When I rsync files from the command line on the backuppc server
using “rsync -av backuppc@daved-hp::cDrive .”, I get a series
of permission denied errors.

TIA for any troubleshooting ideas.
