Hi, guys. To review:

I'm Trying to back up the server computer using method rsyncd. The
backup fails.

I'm on Fedora 26. Yes, I know it's in beta.

Maybe this rsyncd log entry will help:

2017/07/12 05:08:52 [13623] rsyncd version 3.1.2 starting, listening on
port 873
2017/07/12 05:08:52 [13623] bind() failed: Permission denied (address-
family 2)
2017/07/12 05:08:52 [13623] bind() failed: Permission denied (address-
family 10)
2017/07/12 05:08:52 [13623] unable to bind any inbound sockets on port
873
2017/07/12 05:08:52 [13623] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10)
at socket.
c(555) [Receiver=3.1.2]
2017/07/12 05:09:42 [13652] connect from localhost (::1)
2017/07/12 05:09:42 [13652] rsync denied on module Backup-Data-Folder
from local
host (::1)
[bobkatz@localhost log]$ 


Backuppc is configured to use user backuppc with password  "password"
secrets file has just this entry:   backuppc:password
I manually run sudo rsync --daemon and there is no "response" in
terminal. I take it to mean the daemon launched with no problem.

Making the PID has been problematic. There is no PID file being created
and I haven't conquered the issue. Not sure if this is the cause of the
problem but anyway I don't even know how to stop the daemon as the only
command I've found to stop the daemon incorporates the nonexistent PID
file.

Any thoughts, please? Thanks!
