I want to do local/remote mirror/backup (or should that be local-mirror / offsite-backup). So a two-part question: 1. Even if there is a timeout, shouldn't the job/process exit? ****************************************************************************** rdist@thedump: thedump: /mnt/mirror2/public/read_only/movies: chown from rdist:operator to cdripper:operator rdist@thedump: thedump: /mnt/mirror2/public/read_only/movies/The_Thomas_Crown_Affair_1999: chown from rdist:operator to root:operator rdist@thedump: /mnt/stripe2/public/read_only/movies/The_Thomas_Crown_Affair_1999/THOMAS_CROWN_AFFAIR_16X9.md5: updating rdist@thedump: /mnt/stripe2/public/read_only/movies/The_Thomas_Crown_Affair_1999/THOMAS_CROWN_AFFAIR_16X9.iso: installing rdist@thedump: LOCAL ERROR: Response time out rdist@thedump: updating of rdist@thedump finished $ ps -ax|grep rdist 26025 ??

How can I avoid/prevent timeouts? The default is 900 sec AKA 15 min? How can this happen between two local machines?
Thanks.
