No guarantees, but I think sockets are treated similarly to devices by
rsync, so instead of the "-a" option, which is equivalent to "-rlptgoD",
try "-rlptgo", as in
"rsync -rlptgovz -e /usr/bin/ssh root at bsl61u:/tmp /danzas1/dump/testle"

i tried to pull files from a linux server to a hp-ux server via
rsync -avz -e /usr/bin/ssh root at bsl61u:/tmp /danzas1/dump/testle.
It failed for the socket fails.
After that i tried to copy files locally on the hp-ux system but same
error.
Problem seems to be the mknod command on hp-ux that isn't able to build
socket files.
On Linux this problem doesn't occur
it think i don't need the socket files for recovery a system (am i right
?) but i want to get rid of the errors ?
