Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.9-2etch1
Severity: normal
rsync behaves differently when using an URL prepended with rsync:// when the
server requests authentication:
rsync without rsync:// in the URL presents an authentication prompt:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> rsync ftp.acc.umu.se::private/ubuntu
MOTD: Welcome to the rsync archive at Academic Computer Club, Ume\#345
University.
Password:
However, when using and rsync://-style URL, it seems to just skip
authentication and go on unauthenticated:
0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> rsync rsync://ftp.acc.umu.se::private/ubuntu
MOTD: Welcome to the rsync archive at Academic Computer Club, Ume\#345
University.
@ERROR: max connections (64) reached -- try again later
(The rsync server in these examples is a bit swamped, and its pool of
unauthenticated connections is full.)

I assume from the lack of response that it was not reproducible,
hence now closing this report.
