I don't see any such change in this revision, and testing shows that the code is working as expected. > You will get this error when you don't have write access to the > current directory: > mkstemp .somefile.UQVWQd failed: Permission denied > rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045) I get no such error. Note that rsync can report that (pathless) error when it has done a chdir(), and thus it is not actually complaining about the current directory when rsync was run (I'll look into changing that). > Please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=192899 I tried to duplicate the bug listed here and was unable to do so. I must assume that this bug only exists in the Debian version or that the destination directory was not writable by you. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
