That used to be true, but rsync has supported daemon mode over ssh for quite a while now, so using both -e (--rsh) and "::" is fine. > On Thu 11 Nov 2004, Bill Moseley wrote: > > $ rsync -a --rsh="ssh -F $HOME/.ssh/config -i $HOME/.ssh/mysqldump" > > remotehost:: > > unknown host: remotehost It looks like this command didn't even connect to the remote host, so that would explain why the access times on the ssh files didn't get updated. I'd suggest looking into name server issues or something like that. Also, specify another -v so you can see the exact command that rsync is running -- you can try running that command manually, and that may help you to figure out what is wrong. ..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
