I just did.  I tried building it from source but that didn't get very
far so I just got the prebuilt packages from SFW.  I tested with that
and still get the same old

It is an Ultra20 with an AMD64.

That's a cool script.  Thanks.

I had to get those a while ago for some reason I don't remember any more.

So far everything I tried gives me the same error.

rsync: The server is configured to refuse --iconv
rsync error: requested action not supported (code 4) at clientserver.c(840) 
[receiver=3.0.3]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (5 bytes received so far) [sender]
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=635): entered
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(635) 
[sender=3.0.3]
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=635): about to call exit(12)


No matter what options I try, I still get the "refuse --iconv" message.
I got the impression from the man page that if I didn't specify a charset
that the iconv would be refused unless I added no-iconv to the refuse options.

Since I wasn't getting anywhere with the Solaris setup, I installed SuSE 11
on an old spare PC.  After getting the rsync daemon setup there, I tried
it and got the same message.  It seems that the rsync daemon on the SuSE
system has the same problem.  So, since the SuSE setup has the same problem
I will focus on that first since I might have a better chance of getting
help.  Perhaps if I get the SuSE one working, I will have found the solution
for the Solaris one as well.

Can anyone help with rsync on SuSE?
