Hi there:

As I posted a few days ago I have problems rsyncing two machines. I will add more logs to this e-mail hoping someone could help me.
I'm doing a daily backup calling a shell script from cron as root. 
This is the log of the shell script:

As you can see seems to be a timeout problem cause the timeout arrises 21 seconds after the command is invoked.
But why this happens in some paths and not in others?
The paths are always the same paths (from day to day).
What can I do? Where can I change timeouts?

Any help will be  appreciated, cause this is getting me crazy.

Thanks in advance:

	Xabi
