Hi All,

I am trying to rsync a second box on the LAN from my laptop, i.e. the laptop
is the server.  The LAN box connects to the laptop and the rsync process
commences and completes fine, however, I can't see the motd.

I have of course created the motd file:
==========================================
# ls -la /etc/rsyncd.motd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 392 Jul 14 19:43 /etc/rsyncd.motd
==========================================

and have added this in my /etc/rsyncd.conf:  motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd

I am getting the following messages:
==================================================

==================================================
which show that the motd file was found in service section.  Nevertheless it
does not appear in the client machine.

What am I doing wrong here?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Come on guys, someone must know how to make the motd show up?
