Greetings! I'm experiencing these problems as described in this mail:
------- From: Thomas Quinot ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: Rsync 2.5.5: FreeBSD mknod can't create FIFO's This is the only article in this thread View: Original Format Newsgroups: mailing.unix.rsync Date: 2002-06-24 06:05:25 PST 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?

I have searched for a way around it, and have found nothing but this patch. As I am using a slightly different version, I would like to know if there is another way? Using rsync 2.5.6 and FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE. -- Mvh.
