Hi Hardy:

Well that seemed to do something. See my comments below.

Thanks, Hugh

This made a small difference. The client no reports:

    building file list ... done                                            
    rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (28 bytes read so far)           
    rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at 
                 io.c(150)

The server log shows:

    2003/07/07 14:08:48 [3817] rsync to bak/ from pgiprd.forsoft.com
                          (192.168.2.19)

And there is now a core file in the /bak directory.

Back to the original messages.

FQDN or IP address results in same messages as 1).

Since I did not get "hosts allow" working, I did not try anything 
with "auth users". - HEC
