And, I've found more. It turns out that even though the exclude directive is ignored for inbound data in rsyncd.conf, it is NOT ignored for the --delete option. I've seen this behavior occur when I've deleted a file from the sending side (client) that is inside a tree that's matched by the server-side (rsyncd) exclude directive. The deletion is ignored, as the documenation indicates that it should be.
This leads me to believe that outbound-data-only exclusion operation is probably a bug, because the exclude directive *is* operational for inbound data to an rsyncd server when the --delete option is used on the client side, and this unidirectional behavior is not noted in the documentation. Anyways, that's that. More excitement. :) Scott -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
