HI all, Thanks to all who responded to my email and question. Thanks also to those who did not. The solution was to use -e "ssh -l root -c arcfour" to do the actual transfer.....so that rsyncd on one host is not talking to rsyncd on the other host directly, rather ssh is being used for the actual transfer. Thanks again. I appreciate it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/attachments/20120928/bd0c3623/attachment.html>
