What an interesting bug. :-) The proximate connection to the rsync server will be from the sshd process which is running on the server host, so stdin will probably be a unix-domain socket. In other words because rsync is not directly connected to the client, it can't use the usual mechanism to find the client's address. Perhaps we can get rsync to look at $SSH_CLIENT, which contains the necessary information. We need to think carefully to make sure this is secure though. -- Martin
