How so?

Well, there's a lot of them, for one; scattered about the drive in various places, for two.

 You just have to put the appropriate number of ../ in front.
"symlinks -c" will even do this for you.

symlinks -c? I don't have a command named symlinks nor did I see one on a quick tour of /usr/ports/ .. oh, wait, I see it in sysutils, I'll take a look at that.

This is a local rsync, so there's no receiving daemon.

I meant that you could set up and use a receiving daemon if you wish to
take advantage of the "munge symlinks" feature.

Ah... well, yeah, I hadn't thought of that... I guess that's a possibility. though I've always had permission issue doing that in the past... Still, might be worth looking into/

Maybe I don't need the -H option after all...

The -l option (which is part of -a) governs symlinks, not -H.


Ah, right, I was thinking they were hard links, but of course not.
