makes me think that it might actually be a problem
with rsync. Maybe rsync should watch out for temporary loss of network
connectivity or slowness like you get in WANs sometimes. Maybe it should
tolerate these sorts of errors subject to a maximum number of retries.

machines I got
these errors from over a dozen today. That's more than usual but it's all
random when it comes down to it. I wonder who else is rsyncing on this
scale.

The machines to which I distribute have changed and the new machines have
the older version of rsync, 2.6.6. The problems have gone away. This makes
me wonder if it is something that was introduced after 2.6.6...

#x27;t know enough
about this bit of the rsync code. If it is trying to defend against this
then IMO it should be using an HMAC rather than just a hash code. Assuming
it doesn't need these strengths/safeguards then maybe it should use a
cheaper (i.e. quicker) hashing algorithm.
