Hi,

 

My name is Salim Soormally.  I have downloaded rsync from your web site ( rsync-2.1.0-SCO3.2v4.2BIN.tar.gz ).  We are using SCO Unix Sys V - Release 3.2.4.2.  I will describe the system more at the bottom of the email.

 

I have un-tared the program, performed the ./configure and make.  Everything went successful.  I have even included it in the path.

 

However when using it, everytime i have obtaining the error message ;

 

Unix486.AWDOM: Unix486.AWDOM: cannot open
unexpected EOF in read_timeout

 

The commands rcp / rexecd / rlogin is working normally.

 

The command i used for rcp is;

 

root> rcp Unix486.AWDOM:/u/peg/IDA/pglog.dat /u/peg

 

The copy is made successfully.  I wanted to make use of rsync, because i have noticed that it contains many many many intersting functions which rcp does not have.  Could you please advise me what is going wrong in it ?

 

 

 

System Setup:

 

I have got 2 Unix servers ( same operating system as mentioned above ) ;

 

1. Machine 1 has got IP address 10.0.0.10 and it's system name is Unix486.AWDOM

2. Machine 2 has got IP address 10.0.0.3 and it's system name is DemoUnix.AWDOM

 

Machine 2 has been setup so that in case Machine 1 is down, we automatically restore the data from tape and start the system.  However tape is always the convenient isue, the reason why i wanted to schedule different intervals of copying the data from Machine 1 to Machine 2.

 

In case you have any questions, please do not hesitate.

 

Many thanks for your help,

 

Awaiting your prompt reply,

 

Thank you & best regards.

Salim
