Yohoo! >> In CentOS5 I have rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf >> Now my question is if this bug is fixed in CentOS5/ RHEL5? >I am not sure if it is fixed in CentOS-5 or not, but that is not >relevant since you are NOT using the CentOS-5 rsync. >rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf ... the rf stands for RPMForge .. so, that is the >RPMForge version of rsync. >rsync-2.6.8-3.1 <== that is the version of rsync from CentOS-5. You're right! I wasn't aware that this is the version from RPMForge. On the source server there was still the CentOS one 2.6.8 WITH the bug. So the solution is: Original rsync-2.6.8-3.1 has still this bug. DAG rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf has fixed this bug. With the newer version on both sides it now works fine! Thanks for the hint.
