It sounds like your version of AIX has similar problems to HP-UX. You will need to re-compile rsync doing something like this: 1) run ./configure with whatever options you normally use 2) edit the config.h file and comment out the line "#define HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP 1" 3) continue normally (e.g. "make", "make test", etc.) Here's an older list article that describes the fix: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-July/010199.html -- Steve -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
