- - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
-
- - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
- that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
-
- - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the
- referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the
- user and group of a symlink.
-
- - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time
- rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete.
-
- - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, don't try to
- backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative.
+ - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
+ and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this
+ option to control a remote shell's password prompt.
