I gave the example, and understood that you'd used it. If instead of "
rsync -e rsh --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync 66.123.34.123:/etc/services
", you used "rsync -e rsh 66.123.34.123:/etc/services" and it worked, then
you don't need the --rsync-path= option. If however, the second example
above fails, and the first one works, that's what you need, and it
contains the exact correct syntax for your use.
Someone has done some really good work writing and formatting the man
pages. These give more detail and explain much more precisely than I can.
You might want to take a quick glance. - for instance, see below:
SunOS 5.8 Last change: 26 Jan 2003 15
User Commands rsync(1)
--rsync-path=PATH
Use this to specify the path to the copy of rsync on
the remote machine. Useful when it's not in your path.
Note that this is the full path to the binary, not just
the directory that the binary is in.

assuming you replaced "hostwithrsync" with "66.123.34.123", you're in.
Yes, i replaced it with the ip address.
I have a question about rsync-path option. The command I am giving at the
source machine is:
rsync -aznrbe rsh /sourcepath 66.123.34.123:/destinationpath
Could you please tell me how to use "rsync-path" option for the above
command.
Thanks,
Naveen.
It's fine that your /etc/services is a symlink... the important thing is
that you can see it with rsync over rsh.
Use the rsync-path option, and enjoy the tool.

Re: Rsync Error..
Hello Tim,
Sorry for the late response. I was out of town for weekend.
Ok, first I tried
rsync -e rsh --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync hostwithrsync:/etc/services
I got the following the output:
-rw-r--r-- 73490 2003/10/27 09.26.50 services
