FreeBSD rsync server (and client as well), running latest rsync port. I have a nightly cron job that runs rsync. Every time the client connects I get this message in the server logs: May 31 19:30:49 boud rsyncd[81707]: /etc/pwd.db: No such file or directory The file is definitely there, and readable. boud# ls -l /etc/pwd.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 40960 May 22 08:08 /etc/pwd.db It's not that big a deal, because the rsync proceeds with no problems, I'm just wondering if this is something to be worried about? thanks, Scott
