Returns nothing!  Other services show up in netstat (e.g., webmin on
10000), but nothing at 873

Now it does (gremlins):

2005/04/25 11:15:01 [2671] rsync error: received SIGUSR1 or SIGINT (code
20) at rsync.c(225)

I just googled quickly (will do more) and didn't find much on this, except
that it could be a permissions issue?...

Again, thanks for your help!
