Works for me. Are you using rsync 2.3.1?

Yes - No-go ...

Aha, it only failes on Linux, not on solaris. Looks to me like the Linux fnmatch() with option FNM_PATHNAME is broken: it doesn't stop at slashes like it is supposed to. I tried it out on Redhat 6.0 with the following test program: #include "fnmatch.h" int main(int argc,char **argv) { printf("fnmatch(%s,%s,FNM_PATHNAME): %d\n",argv[1],argv[2], fnmatch(argv[1],argv[2],FNM_PATHNAME)); return(0); } This reports a match with "a/b/* a/b/c/d". Can somebody knowledgable in Linux bug reporting/fixing followup? I tried forcing rsync's configure to use its builtin fnmatch, but more will need to be done because then it complains about some missing defines. The man page descriptions of FNM_PATHNAME are different: Solaris: If set, a slash (/) character in string will be explicitly matched by a slash in pattern; it will not be matched by either the asterisk (*) or question-mark (?) special characters, nor by a bracket ([]) expression. If not set, the slash character is treated as an ordinary character. Linux: If this flag is set, match a slash in string only with a slash in pattern and not, for example, with a [] - sequence containing a slash. but I think they intend to say the same thing. - Dave Dykstra ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Florian Lohoff flo@rfc822.org +49-5241-470566 ...
