Hi Martin, An avid rsync fan here... I've been using rsync between 2 Solaris 8 x86 boxes for over a year now with excellent results. I updated box#1 from 2.4.6 to this 2.5.5rc1 and box#2 still running 2.4.6 still worked great. I just updated box #2 to 2.5.5rc1 as well, and it still works great. Using gcc 2.95 to compile on both ends. Thought you'd appreciate this info... Best, --Jeff __________________________________ Jeff Sumey, A.
