Thanks! I wasn't really complaining, I had gone through the web page and I
did
see a link for search but it went to the mailman list page with no opportunity
to do any searches there. Thats why I said something about it.

The error is coming from a system call on HPUX 11.0. The rresvport according
to the man page is a system call that binds a reserved port. This is failing
because a) the rsync command is running under a normal user and b) the
rresvport refers to binding a reserved port. So indirectly something in rsync
might be calling this through a common rsh function??
Now, I've done local checks like rsh hostname ls or something to see if
those
common programs work but those seems fine. Any other ideas?
