Yes, a well known problem. See for example thread entitled "cwRsync 2.5.7" dated 2003-12-10. Tevfik Karagülle (see aforementioned thread) has released a fixed version - I have not yet tried it but hope to do so in the next day or two. I have reverted to rsync 2.5.5 that has always worked reliably for me in cygwin, but from this list I understand that some people have problems with that version too. ...John -- ------------------------------------------------------------ John Hunt Stokesley, N Yorks, UK e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.yoredale.uklinux.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
