I meant Synaptic. Sorry for a typo. I used Symantec last time probably in Windows 95 or 98. But somehow until today I quite often mistype it for Synaptic. Very persistent infection. :-) > 90 packages! > Do your have "everything" installed? ;-p Well, I have a default Squeeze install here, whatever comes with it. However now the size of update I've mentioned worries me. I actually was surprised by the size of the update at the time it appeared too. > None of mine/ours received that many packages in the last point release. > Perhaps you had not been regularly upgrading prior to the 6.0.2 release? My Update Manager is set up to update daily, and so it does. One more point to be worried for me. > Do you mean just "rsync", the daemon, or some sort of gui for it? No, I do not use gui. But neither I use a daemon. I usually just install rsync on my workstation and then run via cron my own script for daily backup and once a couple of weeks I run manually another script. Both scripts just invoke rsync. I do a snapshot like backup with rsync. > Have you tried re-installing rsync using apt? Any interesting messages?

There is mail reporting cron job failed starting 2 days ago and this from rkhunter: http://www.pastie.org/2143404 rkhunter seem to be known false positives, unless I'm mistaken. Well, I start thinking about reinstall. I do not like mysteries. :-( And thanks for your reply. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
