There’s no rush.

The point is that there’s currently just not enough information to
diagnose the problem. A number of people have been taking guesses, but
that’s all they are; a couple of lines quoting what you tried and what
happened would clear a lot of it up immediately.

This is very common on Usenet. Someone posts an incomplete problem
description (in good faith, of course: they may not know what
information is needed). People start taking guesses based on problems
they once had, rather than gathering even the most basic information
about what’s going on. Sometimes one of the guesses will be right but
only by luck.

In contrast collecting a bit more information may lead rapidly to
understanding and a solution. For example, given a (correctly quoted)
error message and the program it came from, it’s often (not always)
possible to map it to a source code location and from there to the
conditions that cause it.

‘Refused Access’ doesn’t appear in rsync or OpenSSH. Right nobody can
tell whether that’s because there’s some other component in the mix, or
because the actual diagnostic is slightly different, or some other
reason entirely.
