I've been through the archive and found nothing definitive on this. However, I am definitely seeing rsync hanging. I'm rsyncing from a Solaris 2.8 box running rsync 2.5.5 protocol version 26 and SSH version 2.1.0 (non-commercial version) to a Linux RedHat box running rsync 2.5.5 protocol version 26 and SSH version OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090603f. Wondering if anyone has seen anything like this or have any clues? The one thing I did notice was that the temporary file written on the receiving end (in /tmp) actually grows to be bigger then the actual file size. I did not include a strace/truss but I can if anyone thinks that will help. Thanks in advance.
