Description Timo Rothweiler 2007-02-10 10:09:18 UTC

When I try to rsync with ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles as told in the documentation, only a MOTD gets displayed but nothing happens.
When I then try to rsync with just ftp.ussg.iu.edu, the MOTD lists all rsync modules, but says, that for gentoo-distfiles an authorization is required.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Either the documentation should be updated, stating that there is an authorization required and how to get it. Or it should name another server which doesn't require authorization.

sorry, being too dumb to use rsync, it works. :/
