Hi, As far as I can tell, after version 2.6.4, the "--daemon" and "--temp-dir" options are not compatible anymore. Previous versions allow this. We use this heavily at my site. Is this an intentional change or bug? My command to start the daemon is this: /usr/local/bin/rsync --temp-dir=/.rs

We used rsync 2.6.3 on a couple of Solaris 8 machines to update an Oracle database from one machine to another. Here is the procedure I used: The source database was up and running so this operation was similar to doing a hot backup. I queried the source database for a list of tablespace names,
