[Bug 1888685] Re: rsync fails after installing level 3.2.1

[Cliff Carson]

Stumped to what to do next.  Have two test cases, one works, one fails
with chroot error.  Here is the rsyncd.conf that workds;

cat << EOF > /etc/rsyncd.conf
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock

[test_dir]
path = /mnt/testrsync
comment = Test Directory
uid = cliff
gid = cliff
read only = no
list = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24
auth users = cliff
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt
strict modes = false
EOF
cat << EOF > /etc/rsyncd.scrt
cliff:ubuntu
EOF

The one that fails;

cat << EOF > /etc/rsyncd.conf
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock

[Bin_dir]
path = /home/cliff/Bin
comment = Common Bin Directory
uid = cliff
gid = cliff
read only = no
list = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24
auth users = cliff
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt
strict modes = false
EOF
cat << EOF > /etc/rsyncd.scrt
cliff:ubuntu
EOF

Tried to change the failure.

Change the path = %HOME%/Bin  -  no change
Added use chroot = false  - the failure change to "chdir failed"

Suggestion on what to try next?
