Thanks! I wasn't really complaining, I had gone through the web page and I did see a link for search but it went to the mailman list page with no opportunity to do any searches there.

The strings "rresvport" > and "Error reading" don't occur anywhere in the source code. The error is coming from a system call on HPUX 11.0. The rresvport according to the man page is a system call that binds a reserved port. This is failing because a) the rsync command is running under a normal user and b) the rresvport refers to binding a reserved port. So indirectly something in rsync might be calling this through a common rsh function?? Now, I've done local checks like rsh hostname ls or something to see if those common programs work but those seems fine. Any other ideas? sri
