group change causing failure

[Joe Eiler]

I believe that first one is because I already had a daemon running.  Since I
saw that I have been doing a ps -ef | grep rsync to make sure they are all
dead before testing.

I have been doing a "rsync -av localhost::" to see if a daemon is running,
is this a valid test?

I did do a  "strace -f rsync --daemon --no-detach 2>/tmp/rsync-$$.out" but
it is about 55K and it is SEGFAULTing and dumping core(but core wasn't where
I expected it to be.  The core file is about 680k, I am going to attempt to
crack the core file open, would anyone else like to take a look(looking at
Wayne with very sad eyes)

These mean that the "rsync --daemon" command did not start, so something
else must be accepting daemon connections on your system.  You'll need
to diagnose that if you want to get a core-dump from the daemon (which
must be run from a shell where ulimit allows core-dumps).

Your output commands in the client won't tell you anything because it is
already reporting that the server goes away, so the important thing is
what is happening to the server.  If you want to put some print commands
into server code, you can run "rsync --daemon --nodetach" to see them
(just be sure to output them on stderr).
