The -e parameter should take the whole path of the remote shell
program. In short, if you want to run rsync over ssh to make it
secure, then you should use
rsync -a -e ssh ztest fred2:/usr/local/bin/ztest2
and if you want to use plain rsh, or the contents of your $RSYNC_RSH
variable, then
rsync -a ztest fred2:/usr/local/bin/ztest2
Plain rsh is not very secure at all and should never be used on the
public Internet.
Hope that helps,
