Adding backslash escaping now could potentially screw up anyone currently passing a backslash in their existing rsync scripts (a small group of people, but probably non-zero). It's tempting to go ahead and do this, but I think I'll just leave it as it is. If you want to work around that buggy escaping library, you could change "ssh" to "ssh-nobs" and put the following into that file: #!/usr/bin/perl exec 'ssh', map { s/\\(.)/$1/g; $_ } @ARGV; That adds backslash removal on the way to the ssh. It does not allow you to backslash escape spaces, though, but someone could extend the script to support that. ..wayne..
