error starting client-server protocol (code 5)

Yes, send the conf.  It sounds like it's running, but has nothing to say.

        Subject:        error starting client-server protocol (code 5)
        Classification: 



 
I'm running FreeBSD 4.6.2 on two different machines. Both machines have 
rync installed by way of the ports library, but one of them is running it 
as a server. I followed the directions in the man pages for running the 
server using inetd. 
 
Here is what happens:
 
rsync rsync://myusername@10.0.0.8/
 
rsync: server sent "rysnc version 2.5.5 protocol version 26" rather than 
greeting
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(923)
 
 
I get that same error message any way that I try to access the server, 
even with a simple "rsync 10.0.0.8::"
 
Has anyone seen a message like this before? Does it mean that I set 
something up wrong? I can post my rsyncd.conf contents if necessary.
