SIGUSR1 or SIGINT error

[David Birnbaum]

I suspected that might be the case...now...how to determine the "real"
problem?  Does rsync log it somewhere?  lsof shows that STDERR/STDOUT are
going to /dev/null, so I hope it's not writing it there.  Nothing
informative in syslog, just the message about the SIG:

  Feb  5 09:49:41 hite rsyncd[9279]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code 20) at rsync.c(229)

Any clues?

Thanks,

David.
