rsync-2.5.6 on BSD/OS 4.x

   Doesn't work as a server.  It calls setgroups(0,0),
which is unsupported on BSD/OS.  setgroups() must
have at least one group set, the primary group.

   Would it be a problem to replace this line of
code with setgroups(1, getgid()) (Not literally,
I know that won't compile, but functionally...)?
This works, and presumedly causes no problems
on systems that do support setgroups(0,).

   (What do those systems do in that case?)

                      - Chris
