@ERROR

[Simison, Matthew]

Well, I looked all around for a rsyncd.lock setting or the max connections
directives and niether are set on the server.

here are the configs:
# Scary
[root]
        path = /
        comment = root
        hosts allow = 'bunch of ommitted IP's' 
        uid = 0
        gid = 0
        auth users = ghddfs 
        secrets file = /etc/rsync.secret
[usagesum]
        path = /usagesum
        comment = usagesum
        hosts allow = 'bunch of ommitted IP's'
        uid = 60001
        gid = 60001
        auth users = usage 
        secrets file = /etc/rsync.secret

and the virtual server configs for that customer on our server:

[site]
        path = /www/somename/
        comment = somename
#       hosts allow = IP
        uid = 44113
        gid = 486
        auth users = somename
        read only = false
        secrets file = /etc/rsync/rsync.secret.IP

so I'm not sure where this lockfile error is derived from.
I have not changed anything in 1.5 years.

Any ideas?

Matt

I think that probably is on the rsync server side.  You can change the
lock file to a different place with the "lock file" rsyncd.conf directive.
It is only used to implement the "max connections" directive, and perhaps
you have recently added that.
