Hello all,

A little summary of my scenario:
I'm using the latest version of BackupPC to backup Windows XP computers that are behind routers on our network.  I've set up the client-configuration files on the Ubuntu server running BackupPC to override the ClientNameAlias option - I've set it to the router name for each config file.  I've also overriden the ports for each file, starting with 873 then moving to 1873, 2873, etc. assigning a different port to each computer.  I've then setup the router to forward these ports to each computer, respecitively.  However, I'm having a problem setting up Rsyncd on each computer - I've setup rsyncd.conf for each computer as given:
[data]
    path = e:/data
    comment = data share to back up
    auth users = backuppc
    secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
    strict modes = false
    read _only_ = false
    list = false
    port = 1873     (this changes according to what the server has configured for each computer)

I then run services.bat, and verify that the service is running.  I've set up Windows firewall to unblock port 1873 (or the respective port).  The problem is, when I go to run BackupPC I check the XferLOG for the computer, and I get an "inet connect: Connection" refused error on port 1873.
I've narrowed the problem down to this:
I run "netstat -a" from the Windows computer and see that TCP computer:1873 is not even listed.  However, TCP computer:873 is in the listening state.  Disabling the rsyncd service removes that line, and enabling it brings it back.  It seems that even though I specified in rsyncd.conf, port = 1873, the daemon still listens on 873.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
