Hi all,

Of course after having mailed to this list about how good BackupPC is and how 
it worked flawlessly, I ran into a problem with one of our ancient 
SGI-machines. The error I get is seen below.

full backup started for directory /etc
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root xxx.yyy.zzz.nnn 
/usr/sbin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D 
--links 
 --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /etc/
Xfer PIDs are now 16088
Got remote protocol 1920169263
Fatal error (bad version): /usr/sbin/rsync
Read EOF:
Tried again: got 0 bytes
fileListReceive() failed
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)

First problem was that it couldn't find the rsync executable, but I managed to 
track it down and change the path in this particular machine's setup page in 
BackupPC.

After that, I got the above error message. Here however, I'm not entirely sure 
what's causing the failed fileListReceive command. I have a hunch it might be 
a case of BackupPC looking in the wrong place for something, just as with the 
former rsync executabel, but what?

Unfortunately I'm not that into Irix at all, but know enough to know that it 
isn't quite like "normal linux".

Would anybody who has any insights in Irix please give me a hint or two as how 
to fix this?

Thanks.
