• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Trivial bug: 

Some time after 2.6.0 the --bwlimit code was enhanced, but the code now         
doesn't work anymore when you set the bandwidth limit for the daemon and        
generates error log entries like:                                               
                                                                                
2005/01/13 08:17:03 [29636] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 12 bytes: phase "unknown" [receiver]: Success (0)                                
2005/01/13 08:17:03 [29636] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(909)                                                 



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start rsync --daemon --bwlimit 100 [other options]
2. start a rsync client.


Actual Results:  
Connection closed.

Expected Results:  
Usual rsync session.

This patch fixes the problem:

Upstream (rsync at lists.samba.org) got a copy.

2.6.4 is now in portage which appears to have both a client and daemon bwlimit option ... please re-open if 2.6.4 doesnt work for you
