I suspected that might be the case...now...how to determine the "real" problem? Does rsync log it somewhere? lsof shows that STDERR/STDOUT are going to /dev/null, so I hope it's not writing it there. Nothing informative in syslog, just the message about the SIG: Feb 5 09:49:41 hite rsyncd[9

There's no such option. Rember that Rsync was devised as an efficient way to mirror ftp sites. What you're looking for is unison. Some of the guys on here use it. It's at "http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison";, and looks promising for your application. Tim Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] 30
