[BackupPC-users] Auth failed on module cDrive

[Tom B. <tb...@ri...>]

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.
