Back again, now a first step is done: against my usual convincments, I *removed* the quotation marks from the beginning and the end of the "path" definition.
 
Now I connect passwordless in ssh, but when I do rsync, I am asked for password:
 
Last login: Mon Jan 24 16:43:43 2011 from REMOTEHOST.COM
server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://localhost
Public
server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://localhost/Public
Password:
Here I get the directory contents listed...
 
What's wrong here?
 
TIA.

Hy there.

I'm trying to configure an OSX SL Server to act as a client for my remote BackupPC nightly backups.
I'm used to do rsync-over-ssh, thus I managed first of all to get ssh working in a passwordless mode.
Afterwards I tried connecting and manually checking if things would work, so here I get:

storebox:~# su - backuppc
$ ssh admin AT REMOTEHOST DOT COM
Last login: Mon Jan 24 15:12:41 2011 from REMOTEHOST.COM
server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://192.168.1.200/
Public
server:~ admin$ rsync rsync://192.168.1.200/Public
Password:
@ERROR: chdir failed
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c(1398) [receiver=2.6.9]

My configuration:

server:~ admin$ cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsyncd.lock
use chroot = no

uid = nobody
gid = nobody

read _only_ = true

list = true

hosts allow = *

secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt

# Begin the module definitions
[Public]
path = "/Volumes/Server HD/Shared Items/Public"
read _only_ = false
transfer logging = true
auth users = admin

With the admin user, I can browse and create/delete files/folders underneath the path defined in the "Public" module.

What may be wrong here?

Kind regards,
Flavio Boniforti
