I'm having a hard time believing that you're seeing the map_ptr problem in 2.5.3. Nobody else has reported that, and it was specifically fixed for that version. What's the output of rsh nile-ha1 rsync --version I'm asking you to run it that way because it's possible you have more than one installed, and if you rlogin you'll have a different PATH than if you're using rsh.
-c doesn't have anything to do with it, and neither does the operating system version. By the way, -c is almost always a bad idea to put into a script because it has a lot of overhead. It's mostly useful for special one-time operations to get two directories in sync that hadn't previously been maintained by rsync. - Dave Dykstra On Thu, Mar 21, 2002 at 09:58:23AM -0800, Jennifer Lu wrote: > > Hi Dave, > > Thanks for the reply.
