the second command is the crux. 
How about a
"rsync --version;rsh from.com rsync --version"
I'm guessing we'll see one or both with a version that doesn't support 
bwlimit.

        Classification: 



Hello Everyone:
I've been trying to get rsync using --bwlimit
using openssh for transport without success.

Here's what I get: 

  % rsync --bwlimit=20 from.com:/dir/file.txt /dest
  user at from.com's password:  ****
  rsync: unrecognized option `--bwlimit=20'
  unexpected EOF in read_timeout

I tried specifying ssh transport using both the 
-e option and by setting the RSYNC_RSH evironment
variable--  it made no difference. rsync works as
expected without the --bwlimit option.

I know --bwlimit is a fairly new feature. and I
researched this as much as I could without going into
the source code... anyone able to get this to work, or
have any tips?
Thanks 
jrobinson
