No, the "- *" will get applied to each file and exclude each one. You want + /src/sys/i386/conf/* I'm assuming you want to specify the source as "/usr/" instead of "/usr" like you've got or the files will end up being called /e/usr/src/.... If that's what you want then the include.sys would have + /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/* - Dave Dykstra -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
