Howdy!

I'm experiencing mknod errors upon rsyncing between FreeBSD machines.  I
found this post on the subject, and followed this clue to the rsync list
limited luck, where I  asked if there was something else I could do (I
am using a different version) to get around the problem with.

Can anyone help me with these?

Subject: Rsync 2.5.5: FreeBSD mknod can't create FIFO's

The following patch (adapted to rsync 2.5.5 from the one posted in
Dec. 2000,
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2000-December/003349.html)
is necessary to prevent rsync from failing on creating FIFOs or UNIX
sockets on FreeBSD. Any chance for it to be integrated in a future
release of rsync?

Thomas.
