IBM already includes lsof, rsyslogd, and other singular third party software packages on the expansion pack.
Rsync has become a huge problem to obtain for EPIC customers without committing to the entire DNF AIX Toolkit disaster distribution. I just posted a sample where rsync alone requires 44 packages to be installed.
That's a huge increase in our software footprint to perform CVE tracking on, for a single utility.
Please IBM, ship a signed rsync LPP on the expansion pack in AIX 7.3. Or consider placing one on MRS with the other out of band updates.
Thanks.
