Thank you all for all those information.
I didn't know about that second rsync mode and I
thought I could do with that (after socksified), but
in fact for some reason rsync stop after several
seconds ... maybe some problem on my office firewall
...
I tried to use several implementation of socks client
(dante, tsocks and even recompiled rsync with
socks-4.3 but it didn't work).
Finally I succeed in having tsocks working with
ftp, lftp ... so I guess I'm going to use yam to
mirror using lftp.
Thank you all.
