Rsync Error..

[Tim Conway]

Ok, I'd expected it to go once you could rsh host which rsync.
Since you're not getting a

/usr/local/admin/bin>rsync -e rsh --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync 
hostwithoutrsync:/etc/services
sh: /usr/local/bin/rsync:  not found.
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I don't think it's the remote host binary, but just in case, try a plain
rsync -e rsh --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync 66.123.34.123:/etc/services

I remember once upon a time, rsync choked on verbosity, which is why I 
left out the "v"s.
If that command fails, try it with "vvv".  It doesn't tell much more than 
with none at all, but I'd like to see it.

Or like this, with three "v"s.

If this one fails, 
rsh 66.123.34.123 /usr/local/bin/rsync /
Maybe your timeout is an rsync timeout instead of an rsh timeout.

Hello,
I uncommented shell in inetd.conf on the destination system. 
 
The command " rsh 66.123.34.123 which rsync" is working fine now . 
I get the output /usr/local/bin/rsync. 
 
But the command: 
 
rsync -avvznrbe rsh /sourcepath 66.123.34.123:/destinationpath 
 
Still does not work. I get the same error as i used to get before.
 
opening connection using rsh 66.123.34.123 rsync --server -vvbnlogDtprz . 
/destinationpath
66.123.34.123: operation timed out
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far)
