I have a rsync server running on Solaris 7 and trying to rsync to a
Solaris 9 machine.
rsync is running from inetd in the Solaris 7 and it is in the
/usr/local/bin.
rsync --version shows the following:
# /usr/local/bin/rsync --version
rsync  version 2.5.6  protocol version 26
Copyright (C) 1996-2002 by Andrew Tridgell and others

Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks,
batchfiles,
              no IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums

I am getting the following error:

rsync: server sent "rsync  version 2.5.6  protocol version 26" rather
than greeting
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at
main.c(1043)

Can anybody help?

Regards

Sujit
