asked on Linux rsync password prompt slow to appear - result in timeout
I am having a weird problem rsync'ing between two CentOS 5 linux servers. This results in what appears to be a timeout.
[root@machineA ~]# rsync -vt root@machineBip:/root/some
------long pause occurs here, about 30 seconds
root@machineBip's password:
Connection closed by machinebip
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6]
[root@machineA ~]#
What could be causing this problem?
Thank you,
Brian

same for validation of passwords acros a network in case NIS/LDAP is used?
And did you check for packet loss, which can create a lot of timeout's.
(Also look for automatic switch port setup of below 1Gbps links, they might miscommunicate half/full duplex creating this kind of packet loss.
