Two rsync questions

[Eric Zhang]

Hi, rsync:

    I am a newbie of rsync and I am very interest in it. I have two
questions here:

    1. I want to use rsync to synchronize files between two machines,
one is SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and another is RedHat
9(synchonize files from SuSE --> RedHat, using ssh). And I found that
rsync cannot deal with some files with chinese filename. Is this an
encode problem(I know that SuSE uses UTF-8 but I don't know the encoding
method of RedHat)? What can I do to let rsync recognizes these files
correctly? Here is the version info of my rsync:

    2. I am very interest in rsync and want to read the source codes.
Who can tell me where can I get started? Any suggestion is greatly
appreciated.
