Description Sven Strickroth 2008-04-09 11:47:41 UTC 
"make test" fails in >=3.0.1 when there is no /etc/rsyncd.conf. After "touch /etc/rsyncd.conf" make test doesn't fail any more.

----- daemon log follows

That test is doing a daemon-over-remote-shell test using a shell script as a pretend "remote shell" to do a transfer with the localhost.  This expects the rsyncd.conf file to be in the current directory of the test run, and does not need the /etc/rsyncd.conf file to be present.  I have tested this on Linux to verify this, so am curious what is causing it to fail for you.

try to run "make test" as root

Thanks for pointing that out.  This is fixed in the git repository.
