Package: rsync Version: 2.6.5-1 Severity: minor
The man page says "a modern rsync uses ssh for its communications" (while noting it may have been configure otherwise, but then goes on to say (about remote shells) "One common substitute is to use ssh", which makes it sound as if ssh is not the default. Either I'm missing something, or the man page needs to be clarified. Or perhaps both. I *think* its using ssh since I've been transferring between systems that don't allow rsh without problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (40, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27adnvcd Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages rsync depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters rsync recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
