           Summary: rsync 2.6.3 intermittently slow to connect
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: SunOS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: webjedi_on_crack at yahoo.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


I see some very slow inital connection times when running rsync over ssh.  
There are no network issues like DNS or ping.  Both computers are on the same 
switch and other transferring software like scp work fine.

I also ran a snoop when issuing the rsync command and found that it does not 
send out any packets for a very long time (> 30 secs).  This does not happen 
all the time just often enough to be noticed.

As a sanity check, I switched back to an older version of rsync 2.4.6 and the 
problem does not occur.

Let me know if further details are needed.
