Public bug reported:
Does not work:
Trusty Tahr.
Rsync version 3.1.0
Protocol version 31
DOES work:
Saucy
rsync version 3.0.9
protocol version 30
In both cases: "server side":
Suse 7.0
version 2.3.2
protocol version 21
with both "client" side rsyncs I of course get:
> Server is very old version of rsync, upgrade recommended.
but with the newer rsync I get:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Server is very old version of rsync, upgrade recommended.
protocol version mismatch - is your shell clean?
(see the rsync man page for an explanation)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226)
[Receiver=3.1.0]
According to the manpage I can test the "is your shell clean" with
ssh oldserver /usr/bin/true > out.dat
but I get a clean file (0 bytes).
I just checked: the "no xauth data" doesn't matter:
rsync -e "ssh -x" vsuse:/etc/issue .
has the same problems.
