Rsync spawning a child process when pulling files ?

[Mac User FR]

I'm not sure (maybe someone else can confirm/infirm?) but I think when  
there is a server it is "normal" that there is one process to handle  
connexions and one process for each transfer.
Think about many clients connecting to your server. One process will  
dialog with all clients (from different adresses, wanting different  
things)?

Best regards,
