rsync - Mar 2006 - rsync: connection unexpectedly closed.

Dear Mr. Samir,

  We are using RedHat 7.2. We are getting same error as reported by you 
some time back (given below).

  Did you get any solution?

Regards
C Jagadish

Your original message:
=====================I m running RedHat 9 Linux and I have the rsync-2.5.5-4
package.

When I m trying to the following:

[root at myhost_name root]# /usr/bin/rsync -va 10.0.8.190:usr/local/src
/local_folder

I got the following error:

Couldn't get address for your host (10.0.8.53)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)

  Any Advice will be very helpful.

Best Regards.

Samir Noshy

You may want to update your rsync version to something newer. Error output 
has been improved and it might have been an old bug that is already fixed 
by now.

Since you're running RH 7.2, I would recommend taking the latest EL2 
package from:

	http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rsync/

And because RH 7.2 is not longer supported (since some time now), it 
probably can't hurt to update it (both the OS or the package). :)

Kind regards,
