Yes, and it's also the same command line option that rsync uses to specify a different remote shell... So it's either the version, or it's something that could potentially affect the security of your system. it's atrocious interface design IMO, and I won't support it. > There is a patch available here: [...] > Are there any plans to include such a fix in later versions? Not ever, no. I would much rather remove rsync support entirely. However some of the distros have included rssh and added the patch. You might have luck with that. > Right now I have to add --protocol=29 in the argument list for > rsync but that means I cannot use the latest evolutions of the > protocol unless I patch an compile the application myself.

The only updates are for security bugs, and there hasn't been one found in about a year, and that was fairly trivial. The last release before that was in 2006. -- Derek D.
