there was a post on this not more than an hour ago. please read before you
post. and if you can't read the list, at least check out the site
(www.gentoo.org) and the forums (forum.gentoo.org) before asking questions
here that have likely already been answered elsewhere.
in a case like this, where something major (rsync) that worked yesterday and
isn't working today, it's likely that it's a system-wide problem and
therefore it would have a post on both of the above urls.

it must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more
doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new
system. for the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the
preservation of the old institutions and merely the lukewarm defenders in
those who would gain by the new ones.
