Don't bet on it. In my case I've got a Sparc 5 and an Ultra 60 hooked up. I've also got Sparc 10's & 20's, as well as an Ultra 2 and 10. Then there are the two SGI O2's. I've also had Tru64, Ultrix, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, NeXTStep, OPENSTEP, and Linux running at home at various times. That's just the Unix varients. I use OpenVMS almost as much as my Mac, and I also at times have run OS's at home such as BeOS, Amiga OS, QNX, TOS, RT-11, RSX-11M, RSX-11M+, RSTS/E, MS-DOS, MS Windows (pretty much everything except 2.0), Apple DOS, ProDOS, GS-OS, CP/M, and probably some others that I'm forgetting. This is all on real hardware, not emulation. At home the Mac is my primary OS, as it helps me resist the urge to tweak (most of the time). Mac OS X isn't as good about this though :^( One question on your problem, are you running both rsync and scp as part of the same command string? You can do force rsync to run over ssh. Zane
