I too can confirm both the issue and the workaround on a freshly installed and updated Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit Rackspace Cloud Server (used as a client, running rsync 3.0.7) connecting to a Debian server which is running rsync 2.6.9
Please let me know if I can help in any way, as this bug was really painful to track down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302403 Title: rsync 3.0.3 fails with rssh to some older servers -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
