Sorry, didn't mention it. I'm actually already using OpenSSH: # ssh -V OpenSSH_3.7.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.6e 30 Jul 2002 little old, but should do ;-) >>Invalid file index: 1610612736 (count=214) [sender] > > This number is exactly 0x60000000, so another possibility that comes to > mind is that the byte-order messed up somehow.

Now that you mention it, the rsync actually does always fail with the index 1610612736. I checked byteorder.h, it defines CAREFUL_ALIGNMENT, but even forcing it - by altering the #ifdefs - doesn't resolve the problem. 'configure' detects the endianess correctly (this is a UltraSPARC): "checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... yes" Regards, Frank -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
