Hi,

I just found a script using rsync+ssh broken after the 5.6 to 5.7
update, and easily tracked it down to the rsync package update.

It looks like rsync was updated from 2.6.9-2.el5 to 3.0.6-4.el5.

I'm all for an rsync update to get all of the cool new options that
later versions have to offer, but in my case something broke badly.

Specifying only a host to have rsync use ssh no longer works :

# No longer works
rsync -av remotehost:/foo/ /foo
# Still works
rsync -av root@remotehost:/foo/ /foo

It has already been reported :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724041

Just a heads up to the list, since this is sure to bite lots of people!
Downgrading the rsync package fixes the issue.

Matthias
