Description Theo Van Dinter 2006-01-28 08:17:40 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/417.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/417.8

Description of problem:
When connecting to older rsync daemons, specifically while using at least the -C option, the following 
error is displayed and rsync exits:

filter rules are too modern for remote rsync.
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at exclude.c(1119)

Searching around, I found the following via Google which reportedly fixes the issue:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-April/012317.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rsync-2.6.4-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a rsync daemon running which is a version older than 2.6.4
2. run "rsync -CPcvuzb <some files> user@remote::name/"

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

This bug is so old and addressed in public by the rsync maintainer.
I assume therefore it is fixed in current releases.
Please reopen a bug if this is not true.
