<div dir="ltr">The intent is to keep the AIX installation pure so that it behaves like a normal AIX system -- for better or worse. It's the only way to ensure that anything tested on the system behaves consistently for any normal user of a package tested on the system.<div><br></div><div>The AIX OSS team have made an effort to segregate official AIX supported packages and commands from FOSS packages and commands.

I should have checked closer. 110 is power but not aix;<br>
it has rsync in /usr/bin.<br>
<br>
And 119 already has:<br>
<br>
PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.<br>
<br>
in ~/.profile.<br>
<br>
Appologies for the useless noise.<br>
<br>
The other thing to try is to add a symlink named ~/bin/rsync on every box,<br>
and then you can point --rsync-path to that on all of the cfarm boxen.<br>
<br>
At least the path will then be constant.<br>
