Even though I had done the F33 upgrade sometime ago, I am only now seeing

rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6]

Seen that.

You have to change the configuration of sshd on your F33 machine.

I've chosen to not modify the crypto policies, but to enable ssh-rsa with a
snippet under /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/

-------------------- /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/20-NAME.conf ---------
# To load *before* 50-redhat.conf

# From /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensshserver.config
#  then add ,ssh-rsa No +ssh-rsa allowed (seems)
HostKeyAlgorithms

# Weird: this +ssh-rsa works here.

The 20- prefix is needed to be alphabetically before 50-redhat.conf
that loads/include /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensshserver.config



Thank you for your reply. I'll review this.

In the meantime, for the sake of expediency, I've issued the following command on the client F33 machines as root:
update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY

Once executed, it says that the machine needs to be rebooted for the policies to properly go into effect.

This has caused the rsync backup that I have in place to function.

But in the current world, tougher rather than looser encryption is better.

Thank you again,

Max
