[1] tuck@benzene$ emerge sync
!!! rsync setting: tuck@flashingchance:/usr/portage not
recognized; exiting.
Apparently the only valid strings for beginning the SYNC setting are
'rsync://' and 'cvs://'. And the rsync setting forces a connection to
an rsync server, which many firewalls block.
Ideally (for me) there'd be a way to specify a standard rsync over ssh
connection, but currently it's not possible.
