If transfers complete normally, all the processes go away. But if I hit ^C to stop the client side when connected to an rsync daemon, the daemon does not go away. It also still has the file it was sending open for read (according to lsof). Also, lsof shows the socket descriptor is still open, although netstat shows the connection in CLOSE_WAIT for about 2 to 4 seconds, then gone. That sounds like it is doing a shutdown() but not closing the descriptor. This is version 2.4.6 with the no-hang patch, but the problem was also seen without that patch (so I know it didn't cause it). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard - KA9WGN | Dallas | http://linuxhomepage.com/ | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Texas, USA | http://phil.ipal.org/ | -----------------------------------------------------------------
