Re: [Duplicity-talk] Specifying rsync password in URL

[Edgar Soldin]

Unfortunately I don't have a rsyncd machine available. I'd try to reproduce the 
error then.

But could you try to patch the backend.py the way I mentioned.
If not I could send you a patched 0.5.18 version of the backend and we could 
try to narrow down the error.
