Subject: RSYNC and Cygwin: @ERROR auth failed on module
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hello,

I'm a student trying to get rsync working correctly on
my WinXP machine.
My rsync server works perfectly through cygwin.

BUT, when I try to add authentication, I get the message:
@ERROR auth failed on module Mobilesync
rsync connection unexpectedly closed (94 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at 
tmp/rsync-2.5.6/io.c(165)

This is the command which causes the message:
rsync -Ppvtl rsync://mobile AT littledoshi DOT mit DOT edu/Mobilesync/Test1.txt .
(i get the same error even without the "mobile@"

This is my rsyncd.conf:
*******
use chroot = false
strict modes = false

[Mobilesync]

     path = /cygdrive/c/cygwin/var/mobilesync
     comment = Mobilesync Test Directory
     read only = false
     auth users   = mobile
     secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

*****
and my rsyncd.secrets:

mobile:sync

I've tried all the suggestions posted to others in usegroups.
Nothing works. Suggestions?

THANKS,
Anuja Doshi
