[gentoo-server] Local portage mirror - rsyncd via xinetd?

[A. Khattri]

If I run rsyncd standalone I can sync just fine.

If I try and run it via xinetd it doesn't work, so this must be an 
xinetd problem. But all the logs say is:

Sep 13 16:49:57 eskimo xinetd[20188]: FAIL: rsync address from=XX.XX.XX.XX
Sep 13 16:49:57 eskimo xinetd[18703]: START: rsync pid=20188 from=XX.XX.XX.XX
Sep 13 16:49:57 eskimo xinetd[18703]: EXIT: rsync status=0 pid=20188 duration=0(sec)

(Ive X'ed out the IP addresses)

My /etc/xinet.d/rsyncd file looks like this:

service rsync
{
         socket_type = stream
         protocol    = tcp
         wait        = no
         user        = root
         server      = /usr/bin/rsync
         server_args = --verbose --daemon
         disable     = no
}


Any ideas how I can troubleshoot xinetd?

Problem solved - I looked at /etc/xinetd.conf and saw this:

        only_from       = localhost

Commenting that out fixed it of course :-)
