I really think we will regret this later. I don't see any compelling reason to overload this variable with more than one meaning, especially because it's only a workaround for an OS/SSH bug. A general-purpose RSYNC_OPTS variable would be more tasteful. I think popt makes supporting this fairly straightforward. Alternatively people can use shell functions or scripts. > and also to not talk like rsh is always the default remote shell. OK, that's good -- Martin
