Looking at http://rsync.samba.org, we see under bug fixes for 2.5.5 Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool) If rsync is running as root whe

What network card are you using? I had a very similar situation with a RealTek network card. I am looking in my archives for my notes, I think this is the hardware driver name, 3c90x-1.0.0. Anyway, it was crashing every time I ran a large rsync, but teh rsync wasn't the issue, there was a driv

Peter, One other thing. The first two times it crashed I erased the file tree created by rsync so that the snaphot started from scratch again. Each of these two times it got to exactly the same file: usr/lib/locale/es_CO/LC_COLLATE when it crashed. That was when I stopped rebuidling and re-c

if you are using the parameter "-e ssh" you are using ssh. The defualt is to use rsh. It also has a client/server mode using a process running as a daemon on Linux. It's all in the man page. At 05:57 PM 9/8/2002 +0200, you wrote: >I have no experiance using ssh. Dose it work without ssh ? >
