Anyone have problems with getaddrinfo under AIX4.3? I have built 2.5.0 under linux, HP and VPP without too much in the way of problems. However, AIX4.3 version builds OK but doesn't execute getaddrinfo correctly. Any ideas? Terry Raggett - --

If I understand correctly, you're saying that if someone manages to gain access to my rsync server, they can read my password files and private keys, right? How would they accomplish gaining access to my rsync server, though? Only my backup server would be authorized to connect to it... I think
