I agree with this. I am in a situation where I don't install rsync myself, I have to depend on sysadmins to do it. They get very nervous and insist on installing it as something like "rsync2_5_5" because they are afraid some other users "legacy" rsync invocation is going to break; you can't bl

[trivial patch] link overloaded

This is just a trivial documentation change. The word "link" is overloaded. It refers to symlinks, hardlinks and network links. When looking for references to file links in the manpages the network references get in the way. This patch changes when reasonable to do so the word "link" to "connec

rsyncd 2.5.6 still treats sysmlinks differently

2003-01-29 Thread Karl Wieman
With much hope I upgraded to rsync version 2.5.6 in hopes that it would correct the symbolic link bug I have been wrestling with... No dice. It still insists on dropping the leading slash from a symbolic link outside the source tree. Interactively it still works fine, but as a daemon it's busted.
