I like this idea, so I added a diff to the patches dir that implements this. Your patch didn't check the config file in the right place (i.e. it would have caused rsync to refuse to run in a non-daemon mode if the rsyncd.conf file was not present), so I fixed that. I also made the command-line --port option supersede this value (which is a better idiom to me -- if the user specifies something on the command-line, it should take precedence over a default value from the config file). You can see my version of your patch here: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/patches/param-port.diff It applies to the latest CVS source. Thanks for the patch! ..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
