My xinetd.d/rsync file says :-

service rsync 
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/rsync
server_args = --daemon
log_on_failure += USERID
}

My /etc/rsyncd.conf file says :-

[websites]
path = /path/to/websites
comment = Customer Websites

Client Connect details

$ rsync -rtlzv 123.456.789.000::websites /var/local/websites

after about 2 minutes I get :-

rsync: failed to connect to 123.456.789.000: Connection timed out (110)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(104)
[receiver=2.6.9]

I can ping the server IP address no problem 100%

rsync --version reveals 2.6.3 on server

I haven't created a /var/log/rsync[d].log file so where else would I find
any logged errors from the server (if you need any).

Thanks for any help.
