Yes, rsync _should_ compile on hp-ux, but I can't confirm. However, I
use the depot package from here:

http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/rsync-2.6.6/

I am running:

HP-UX presap B.11.11 U 9000/785

Once you have it installed all you'd need to do is sync the important
files (bb-hosts, etc) like Henrik said. I use a combination of rdist
and rsync to push my bb/hobbit configuration around to 90+
hosts(linux, solaris, hpux, bsd), and it works well.
