Password prompt from rsync

I've setup a MS2003 server as an rsync server using cwRsync & am trying to rsynch files frm a Linux (debian sarge) box. ssh and rsync running on win2k3 server as services.
rsync prompts to accept cert. then prompts for a password for root@win2kservername.

I've tried setting up auth = root and the name of a secrets file in the rsyncd.conf file. I suspect that the service isn't using these conf files. Nothing is appearing in the log files. How do I ensure that logging is enabled and that the conf file is being used?

I'd appreciate any tips.

Thanks,

Greg.

Thansk for your help.
I've tried using:

rsync -vru *.rpm sculfs1:upload/

and

rsync -t *.rpm sculfs1:upload/

I am on a secure network and plan to use rsync to copy files to the MS server so I can back them up to tape. I want it to be fast and reliable. I have rsync & openssh runnig as services on the MS 2k3 server. I've tried it without the openssh running and am unable to connect.

Cheers,

Greg.

I've found that rsynch isn't using the configuration paramaters. They're not saved under the service details and even if I put them there they disappear. I'll find a solution to this and it will most likely solve the problem.
Cheers,

Greg.

If you are interested in using rsync server/daemon directly, you should define a module at server side and use double colon syntax.

Example:

rsync -vru *.rpm sculfs1::module

(Assuming that module is defined in rsync.conf at server side)
