No guarantees, but I think sockets are treated similarly to devices by rsync, so instead of the "-a" option, which is equivalent to "-rlptgoD", try "-rlptgo", as in "rsync -rlptgovz -e /usr/bin/ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp /danzas1/dump/testle"
Tim Conway Unix System Administration Contractor - IBM Global Services desk:3032734776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] i tried to pull files from a linux server to a hp-ux server via rsync -avz -e /usr/bin/ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp /danzas1/dump/testle. It failed for the socket fails. After that i tried to copy files locally on the hp-ux system but same error. Problem seems to be the mknod command on hp-ux that isn't able to build socket files. On Linux this problem doesn't occur it think i don't need the socket files for recovery a system (am i right ?) but i want to get rid of the errors ? -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
