Hi all, I think I just found a small bug in rsync... It has costed me about half an hour searching for a problem which actually didn't exist!
If you use rsync like this: > rsync --password-file=/tmp/non-existing-file /tmp/somefile [EMAIL > PROTECTED]::tmp/ Rsync will ask for the password since the supplied file doesn't exist: > rsync: could not open password file "/tmp/non-existing-file": No such > file or directory (2) > Password: > rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at > main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] But actually, the file '/tmp/somefile' did get transferred to server 'bar'. When not supplying the bogus password file, rsync will again ask for the password, but not report the code 23. Bottom line: rsync reports a code 23 when there's a problem with the password file, even when the right password is supplied and files are transferred.
