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?

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.
