Continuing Issues with rsync and Tiger

[4q5aore5w0@…]

MacPorts is properly installed to my new Mac Pro with OS X 10.4.8 (fully updated) but I can't use it because I cannot run "port selfupdate" or "port sync" properly. This defect has been discussed in Ticket #7565 (​http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/7565).

I spent half the day trying to get this to work with no luck and with no initial sync with the server, MacPorts is rendered useless. I tried uninstalling rsync and installing a version from Fink (rsync version 2.5.5) several times. I tried out rsyncX with no luck. I have scoured the web for more assistance with this but no luck. This looks like the only area where someone might be able to provide more detailed information on a workaround. If anyone has any advice, please share. Thanks.

If you're running 10.4.8 then the problem is not the same as the referenced bug #7565, which was fixed by a subsequent update of Apple's.

Please give detailed output from the operatio with the -d flag.

Here is output from Terminal:

No help? You did ask for output from -d and not -vd so here is the output from -d:

Sorry there was no response. Was this resolved?

Perhaps a firewall issue? It looks like your network isn't allowing rsync access.

Appears to be a network issue. Closing.
