Re: rsync wont run w/o disabling chroot in config.

[Paul B. <Pau...@va...>]

The command indicates that it is trying to sync with /home/rssh/data/.  
With a chroot of /data/jail/, this would be
/data/jail/home/rssh/data/

Does this directory exist?  /home/rssh/data/ is not be accessible when 
you use chroot.  The purpose of chroot is to limit access to one 
directory and its subdirectories.
