How can I tell rsync to ignore FIFO files?

If you disable the -D option, rsync will not copy them (nor will it copy
devices).  You'll need to avoid -a (--archive) to do that.
Hrm. I need the archive option to retain ownerships and permissions. Are you saying I should use '-rlptgo' instead of '-a' (which would also include -D) ?
