When you say that a local copy hangs, I'm assuming you're not using the host: name for the local machine or "localhost:", right?
If HAVE_SOCKETPAIR is defined in config.h, I'd suggest commenting it out, recompiling, and trying the local copying again -- perhaps having rsync use pipes instead of socketpairs will avoid a hang. ..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
