Hi All,

  I have a problem with the limit MAXPATHLEN. I have a freebsd box 4.9-RELEASE 
as a backup server. I have programs in client servers which backup their data 
to this freebsd server. Few clients have in their servers directories which 
are above 1024 ( MAXPATHLEN limit ) and rsync of those folders fails.
I can not modify directory structure or names.

I recompiled rsync with modified MAXPATHLEN but then mkdir fails during rsync. 
Can I modify MAXPATHLEN in sys/params.h and build FreeBSD from source to fix 
this problem . 
Or is it possible to recompile libc alone to fix the problem.
Also , when I tried to do the rsync to a redhat Linux  , it didnt show this 
problem. Are they not following standards ?

Thanks
Shameer
