It seems similar to Ed Santiago's problem. http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2001-December/005511.html
This also seems similar to what I reported last month. http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2001-December/005628.html I had to go back to 2.4.6dev+waynenohang. That works for me. I run solaris/linux hosts. I'll try 2.5.1 again, but I'm pretty sure there is still a timing/IPC issue. eric Dave Dykstra wrote: > > On Fri, Jan 04, 2002 at 11:29:13AM -0800, J Robinson wrote: > > Hello All: > > > > I've having repeatable problems copying files between > > linux machines using rsync-2.5.1 and various recent > > flavors of openssh.
