Hello.
I tried disabling the security suite altogether. No effect. Also, a
“manual” connection goes just fine, even from the computer where
BackupPC is installed, it is only BackupPC that can't connect. I'll
try showing rsync share names, but the failures seem to be earlier in
the process...
Sincerely,
Maxim
