Greetings!
I'm experiencing these problems as described in this mail:

Subject: Rsync 2.5.5: FreeBSD mknod can't create FIFO's

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.

That is, I get these "invalid argument" errors from mknod upon
rsyncing. 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.
