I get : "rsh : unknown option -- server" I down graded the rsync2.6.0 from the cyg1.5.9 install to the 2.5.6 version from the cyg1.5.5 version and got the same problem. I restored the rsync to 2.6.0 and copied the rsh.exe from the inetutils-1.3.2-25 from the cyg1.5.5 install and rsync started working again. Is there a known bug or known workaround for using the most recent version of rsh ( from 1.3.2-26)? thanks.
