           Summary: The '/' in the Softlink is missing on the remote Rsyncd
                    server !
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.5.7
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows 98
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

Dear all,

When I use rsync with "-l" to backup some softlinks to the remote Rsyncd
server, the '/' in all softlink files on the remote server has been removed.
For example: The softlink "test2.txt -> /home/louie/test.txt" will become to
"test2.txt -> home/louie/test.txt" on the remote server. Therefore, the OS
cannot locate the right location due to missing '/' when I recover this
softlink from the remote server to the local machine.

Do you know if there is any method to fix this problem ?

Thanks !

Best Regards. Louie
