But wait... I can't find such a line in my manpages (clean Debian Etch install): > $ dpkg -l | grep rsync > ii rsync > 2.6.9-2 fast remote file copy program > (like rcp) My version seems to be the latest (packages.debian.org only mentions -3 in testing/unstable and ~pre-3-1 in experimental), maybe this feature only exists in the experimental version 3? Or is the manpage shipped with Etch out of date? Or maybe I just didn't drink enough coffee for today...
