I noticed that NT4 did not work well with Rsync 2.3.1 as a service on
a well connected network (100MB). I switched to use the Linux daemon
and all has been well since then. Good or bad, I've stayed at 2.3.1
rather than upgrade.
I'd be interested on what version I should be using with a bunch of
W2K/NT4 clients talking to a RH6.2 rsync daemon.
