see patchlet below. the interessting part is:
-	if [[ $SERVERURL == rsync://* ]] ; then
+	if [[ $SERVERURL == @(rsync://*|*:/[^/]*) ]] ; then

this allows in /etc/.fou4s for
Server=yourchoice@someserver:/var/SuSE-updates/some/where/%ARCH/update/%VERSION
which then is passed to rsync.

rsync logs in to "someserver" as user "yourchoice", using
$RSYNC_RSH, which could for example be set by "export RSYNC_RSH=ssh"
in your /etc/profile.local

if you set up key authentication (which you did anyways, no?),
this happens to just work.  no need for a permanent share, nor for
a rsync server.  there might be situations where this is "nice to have"...

cheers,

other fixes:
. only say "you don't have group fou4s" if this is true.
. handle empty lines within one description block,
  this happend e.g. with suse-8.1 kernel-source-51177 (2003-11-26)
