Hi!

I'm sorry to announce that the rsync service on sentinix.org has been disabled 
becuase of abuse (and lack of options for rsync --daemon). Even legitimate 
users end up nearly DoSing the box. :-\

The problem is that rsync eats extremely much harddisk IO + CPU when doing 
incremental syncing... and it appears to be impossible to shut off without 
patching rsync (if you know how, *please* let me know!, yes I have tried 
- --daemon -Wu, no luck).

Regards,
Michel
