On my new Gentoo system, 'emerge rsync' says: rsync: failed to connect to cvs.gentoo.org: Connection refused rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(89) I can ping cvs.gentoo.org so the net seems to be working. Any help appreciated, Michael
edit your /etc/make.conf to have rsync://rsync.gentoo.org instead of rsync://cvs.gentoo.org
