A few months ago cygwin switched their getopt code (when they added getopt support to their library, I think) and this made several utilities break like this -- e.g. it also affected ssh (but I managed to talk them out of such a broken behavior). I believe that having rsh behave this way is also a cygwin bug because it is silly to have a tool that is accepting a command-line reorder the to-run command's options prior to the command (and the rsh utilities on other OSes don't do this). I'd recommend complaining to the cygwin folks about it. I suppose I could have rsync export the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT, but that just seems to rub me the wrong way. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
