Hi Hardy:

Nice catch - I missed that one when I reviewed the man page. 
Unfortunately it made no difference. I have also tried moving
the module params from the global section to the module section
but that also made no difference - exactly same messages.

Just to keep things straight, here is my latest rsyncd.conf:

<-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Global parameters:
#
#motd file	= /var/rsync/rsyncd.motd
log file	= /var/rsync/rsyncd.log
pid file	= /var/rsync/rsyncd.pid
#syslog facility= daemon
#socket options	=

#
# Default values for module paramaters:
#
#use chroot	= no
#max connections	= 0
#lock file	= /var/rsync/rsyncd.lock
#read only	= no
#list		= yes
#uid		= 300
#gid		= 200
#hosts allow	= fisdev pgiprd
#auth users	= root hugh

#
# Module "BAK":
#
[bak]
comment		= Default remote backup repository
path		= /bak
read only	= no
uid		= 300
gid		= 200
hosts allow	= fisdev pgiprd
auth users	= root hugh
----------------------------------------------------------------->

Thanks for all your help.

Regards, Hugh
