I'm sure your system is fine. What about the rsync, though? If it's still 2.4.6, you're not getting anywhere. Get the source from http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.5.5.tar.gz untargz it somewhere, and in the directory it creates, which will be named "rsync-2.5.5", type "./configure ; make ; make install" On a properly-configured Linux system, those three commands should all run successfully to completion, leaving you with the rsync binary as /usr/local/bin/rsync, and the man pages distributed among /usr/local/man. If your existing version is in /usr/bin or something, and you want to override it, add "--prefix=/usr" or whatever, to redirect the install. It's that easy. If you want to leave off the installation stuff, you can, because the binary is fully static and relocatable. I can't guarantee that this will solve your problems. Sometimes, individual problems can be fixed only by the individual involved. In my application, I finally had to write a custom app, completely abandoning rsync, because of the limitations of the platforms I'm required to use. I still use rsync a lot, but as just another tool, like tar, cp, rsh, whatever.
Good luck.

This time I added three v's as you just suggested and rsync just hung with two tasks in execution thus: root 3178 0.1 0.9 1796 868 pts/1 S 09:57 0:00 /usr/bin/rsync -vvva --delete --exclude=root/snapsh root 3179 0.0 0.6 1628 632 pts/1 S 09:57 0:00 /usr/bin/rsync -vvva --delete --exclude=root/snapsh and the last data rsync put out was: make_file(4,var/adm/fillup-templates/i4l.templ) make_file(4,var/adm/fillup-templates/i4l_b1.templ) make_file(4,var/adm/fillup-templates/i4l_default.templ) make_file(4,var/adm/fillup-templates/i4l_hardware.templ) make_file(4,var/adm/fillup-templates/i4l_hisax.templ) make_file(4,var/adm/fillup-templates/i4l_icn.templ) make_file(4,var/adm/fillup-templates/i4l_ignore.templ) -----------then hangs--------------------- Any ideas?
