Do I need special patches either on my clients or on my OmniOS server (r151012 for now, 014 shortly coming). There's no rsync changes between 012 and 014 (3.1.1), so if it works for 012, it will keep working.<br class=""><br class="">Thanks,<br class="">Dan<br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">OmniOS-discuss mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com" class="">OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com</a><br class="">http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss<br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
