thanks for your answer. We tried a timeout=600 on both client and server,
but the problem still pops up, this way:

## on the server side:
(...)
[pid 28105] select(7, NULL, [6], [6], {60, 0}) = 1 (out [6], left {60, 0})
[pid 28105] write(6,
"\273\251\231\216\244\252\271\320\354\f\24\33\3\332\274\377\221\377|\377k\377]\377^\377^\377X\377p\25"...,
4092) = 4092
[pid 28105] time(NULL)                  = 1300272234
[pid 28105] select(7, NULL, [6], [6], {60, 0}) = 1 (out [6], left {60, 0})
[pid 28105] write(6, "\374\17\0\7", 4)  = -1 ECONNRESET (Connection
reset by peer)
[pid 28105] time(NULL)                  = 1300272234
[pid 28105] open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
[pid 28105] open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
[pid 28105] open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
[pid 28105] send(3, "<28>Mar 16 10:43:54 rsyncd[28105"..., 136,
MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 136
[pid 28105] rt_sigaction(SIGUSR1, {0x1, [], 0}, NULL, 8) = 0
[pid 28105] rt_sigaction(SIGUSR2, {0x1, [], 0}, NULL, 8) = 0
[pid 28105] time(NULL)                  = 1300272234
(...)
[pid 28105] gettimeofday({1300272234, 321975}, NULL) = 0
[pid 28105] exit_group(12)              = ?
(...)

## on the client side:
(...)

(...)

rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(760)

[generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(601)

(...)

this time the timeout message you saw in my first mail
did not appear. FYI the directory is arount 1Tb size, with 31000 files.

any suggestion helpful
