Perhaps you hit some of the sockets or named pipes and block something. Find out the pid of the hanging rsync, do "ll /proc/$pid/fd" maybe it says you what the culprit is. Or run rsync verbose to see the last files that were accessed. Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers
