cygwin 1.3.22,

I know the list hates  rsync questions/problems ( is there is a better list
for this?)  but...

I have been having somewhat aqrbitrary but continued reliability issues with
rsync,  I've been trying to use rsync to synchronize a fairly large number
of machines from a central server. Somewhat arbitrarily ( but often ) in the
midst of copying files I either terminate with the following:
...........
rsync: error writing 68 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463)
rsync: error writing 7161 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by
peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at
/tmp/rsync-2.5.5/io.c(463)

or

it hangs on one file until the i/o time_out value I have set kicks in..
That file never gets transfered,  but the next time it transfers that file
fine and hangs in a different place or not at all.....

It the first case,  the first error line is ALWAYS writing 68 bytes
the third line byte count changes...

I run multiple rsyncs concurently from a master server,  but have seen the
same beahviour even when doing one rsync at a time.

I did find that removing Terminal Services (
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01805.html)  did improve the
reliablity,  but I still have around a 25% faliure rate..

thanks,
Bruce D.
