Dear JW, I spent hours checking and upgrading my hardware. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a 'mature' Pentium-II 400MHz system that has been running my servers WITHOUT ANY CRASHES for nearly 2 years now 24/7
Listen to me: "The crashes are dues to rsync" There is an IDENTICAL report from a totally different source at http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%2B%22rsync:+error+writing+4+unbuffered+by tes+-+exiting:+Broken+pipe%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=aemsfq%24894% 241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&rnum=1 Oh - except he was Running Red Hat linux - so don't go blaming SuSe. Appreciate you trying to help, but I didn't come down in the last rain-shower :-) Trevor http://www.TrevorMarshall.com >If running rsync crashes your (non-MS) server you have a >problem with the server, not rsync.
