1 Well, that explains it. Thanks for the info.

3 Unfortunately, GE has /very/ strict rules, and there will be no way I
4 can get 22 open. I don't suppose there is a feature request area where
5 I can suggest the option of grabbing these things on port 80 :P ?

7 Otherwise, I guess I live with the CD for now.

37 I think I see some of your problems. First, RSYNC_PROXY (and since it's
38 in the environment it's all caps) only specifies a rsync server to proxy
39 with. However, rsync_proxy connections only work on port 873.
40
41 Otherwise, rsync will use rsh/ssh to grab it's data. Now both of those
42 work on port 22.

44 It just dawned on me that in a previous e-mail you mentioned that you
45 only had ports 21 and 80 open. Well, there's your problem--you only
46 have ftp and http open on your firewall. You'll need to either open up
47 port 22 (ssh/rsh) or put in some stateful rules to keep an outgoing
48 connection open.

50 Hope this helps...
