Description of problem: This is on RedHat 5.7 Snapshot 5. rsync fails with the error indicated below. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rsync-3.0.6-4.el5 How reproducible: The rsync command I am using: rsync -arC -q -e rsh --progress -r 190.0.0.215:/cvs/unix_qa/stable/scripts/* /scripts/ Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Error message I get: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [receiver]: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1525) [receiver=3.0.6] Expected results: Additional info: I install my source copy of rsync-3.0.8 and everything works fine.
Me too, in RHEL-5.7 release. $ rpm -q rsync rsync-3.0.6-4.el5.x86_64 Simple reproducer: $ rsync 192.168.0.2: usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-i identity_file] [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path] [-w tunnel:tunnel] [user@]hostname [command] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6]
I can confirm the behaviour as described in Comment 1. My current workaround was to downgrade from rsync 3.0.6-4.el5 to 2.6.8-3.1 via the command: $ yum downgrade rsync RHEL-5.7 release, on both 32 and 64-bit Intel/AMD platforms using the latest openssh (4.3p2-72.el5_6.3).

Nevermind, see Bug 724041. Still, not looking forward to rewriting dozens of scripts, downgrading for now.
