    Off topic I know, but just a hope that someone here may have an answer

    I have long backed up my work laptop (running win2k) by running the rsync
    daemon using cygrunsrv on the lap top and using an overnight cron job from my
    Debian server to suck out all the data and save it.

    I have just got a new laptop that runs XP (professional). I set up rsync on
    there identically to before. From my server, I can get see that the rsync
    daemon is running because I can get it to list the modules it will serve.

    However as soon as I try and access any data for real I get access denied
    failures (see below for the output)

    roo:~# rsync rabbit.home::
    system the complete c drive
    alan Alan's specific user space
    roo:~# rsync rabbit.home::alan/
    @ERROR: access denied to alan from roo.home (192.168.0.20)
    rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
    rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420)
    roo:~#

    One difference - the new file system is NTFS, the old one was FAT32.

    Ethereal on the link just has the simple exchange above, no other data

    Nothing is being logged (despite cygrunsrv directing stdout and stderr to a
    log file) as to what the problem might be, so I am finding it hard to debug.
    Anyone and ideas?
