I did "man rsync" in console mode and stumbled across some illegal
characters in the following part:
----------------------------------------------
              rsync -avz foo:src/bar/ /data/tmp

       a  trailing  slash  on the source changes this behavior to
       transfer all files  from  the  directory  src/bar  on  the
       machine foo into the /data/tmp/.  A trailing / on a source
       name means "copy the contents of this directory".  Without
       a  trailing slash it means "copy the directory". This dif-
       ference becomes  particularly  important  when  using  the
       --delete option.

       You  can also use rsync in local-only mode, where both the
       source and destination don�t have a �:� in  the  name.  In
       this case it behaves like an improved copy command.

              rsync somehost.mydomain.com::
----------------------------------------------

The � (MacOS=ALT Y) shows on Linux as small square. I'm using the
sg-latin1.kmap on a i386. Does anybody has a solution?
