The binaries on both machines are identical. I only need to change the destination binary to 2.6.3 for things to work - the source binary can stay at 2.6.6 without issue. I downloaded the source for 2.6.6 from the rsync website and diffed it against the patched source from the SUSE srpm - the only differences are acl and srp things and I am quite sure they aren't the problem. If it makes you feel better I'll rebuild the rpm without the patches (I'm quite familiar with the process) and try that although I'm positive that they aren't a problem. -- Jon Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
