[gentoo-user] local rsync mirror problem

[John Blinka <jblinka@neo.rr.com>]

Hi, all,

I'm rebuilding a gentoo box from a disk failure, and everything is working
(I think) except restoring its ability to act as my local rsync mirror. 
I've
followed the instructions in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml,
(and they worked fine, of course, before the disk crash)
but clients trying to sync with it get this error message:

root@lotus:~--> emerge --sync
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://192.168.1.104/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
@ERROR: Unknown module 'gentoo-portage'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1296) [rec
eiver=2.6.8]
>>> Retrying...

The /etc/rsyncd.conf file contains:

# /etc/rsyncd.conf

# Minimal configuration file for rsync daemon
# See rsync(1) and rsyncd.conf(5) man pages for help

# This line is required by the /etc/init.d/rsyncd script
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
max connections = 5
use chroot = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nobody

# Simple example for enabling your own local rsync server
#[gentoo-portage]
        path = /usr/portage
        comment = Gentoo Portage
        exclude = distfiles/ packages/

The system log contains only a similar "unknown module" message.

Any ideas about what's going on?
