The "-t" option says "preserve timestamps" and if the two machines are out of time sync, you can certainly get errors of that nature. If you don't need the timestamps, then omit the "t" from the command options and let the destination file have the ctime, mtime and atime set to the current date and time. I'd also highly recommend you fire up ntpd and get the machines you deal with synchronized. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - BASIC is the Computer Science version of `Scientific Creationism' - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
