Even though rsync maintenance isn't as bad as wget's, the maintainers
are all VERY part time so that is a big part of the problem. Most of us
don't have ipv6 systems to test things on. Can you vouch for the quality
of the patch? I was able to get it with
wget --passive
to only those defined by rsyncd.conf.

We've been calling this option --files-from rather than --file-list,

That sounds reasonable to me that rsync shouldn't try to preserve those
extra bits without -p. Try making a patch and seeing if that works.
I don't have Samba set up, but on a vfat filesystem on Linux rsync is
doing even worse because after the initial file creation it does a
fchmod(fd, 0600)
See the BATCH MODE section in the rsync 2.5.5 man page. It's stil pretty
new and experimental, so it may not do what you want, but currently it's the
best that rsync can do.

Does it make sense to impliment a don't touch permissions flag?

It is supposed to preserve existing permissions on destination files

When preserve_perms is not set, rsync sets a default permission based on
the original permissions and the umask. A comment in flist.c says that is
what GNU cp does, so that's why rsync does it. Comments in generator.c
and receiver.c indicate that if a file already exists and preserve_perms

According to my email record, I once found a workaround by deleting the
|| tx_strm.avail_in != 0 on line 285 of token.c. That change has not
been put into 2.5.5 or into a later development version because it was
unknown what the side effects were.

seems harmless, although I'm not sure it's the best style.
How about making strcpy a macro instead? popt/popt.c is borrowed code,
and if we make modifications to it it might get forgotten the next time
it is upgraded.

introduced the code that caused the bug.

I disagree that the number of rsync bugs is too low to bother tracking
in a bug tracking system. I think that a lot of things have been posted
that are genuine bugs but have been forgotten about because none of the
developers have had the time to track them. If bug reports were all
dealt with
ahead and take out the check for copy_links.

Is /home now a symlink? The fact that the is uptodate message is only

This happens on Linux with rsync version 2.5.5.

The problem is in your use of -e rsh; --blocking-io is assumed if
the -e value is equal to the RSYNC_RSH define which is usually remsh
on solaris but maybe it isn't on solaris 2.8. The --blocking-io option
is required for most versions of rsh, but it's sometimes difficult for
rsync to know when
--relative has caused confusion to many people. If you could come up with
a patch and/or a change to the man page that made it easier to understand
and/or more useful I think it would be welcome.

Does the --ignore-existing option do what you want? It will probably recurse
into the existing directories, but ignore all regular files that already exist.
