That could be it. As to why... quoting from the manpage, "Rsync finds files that need to be transferred using a "quick check" algorithm (by default) that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified time." Was the size the same? The mod-time shouldn't have been, if they were different, but... You can try the -c (--checksum) option too, but if you have lots of files to check, it'll be significantly slower due to the need to checksum them all on both sides. The other possibility I can think of is that ACLs (do you run SELinux, Fedora does I believe, no idea on others) or other perms issues might have prevented it, for some reason. I'd especially consider SELinux/ACLs if they apply on your system, as it's quite possible that the distribution default rsyncd ACLs are somewhat restricted (default to safe, people can open it up further if necessary), on the assumption people may be using it as a public rsync server. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
