Arnold, I put in a TCP port forwarder for rsync, so that if you do
rsync minnie.tuhs.org:: then things will still work. Hopefully, your
script isn't broken!

I've been using "minnie" since 1991, see
https://minnie.tuhs.org/Blog/Docs/minannounce.txt
and I've tried to keep the personal (minnie) side of things
separate from the TUHS (www) side of things.
I definitely want to keep the personal/TUHS split moving forward.
That said, if there is a web link which is now broken, I can
easily put in a redirect on the new minnie to point at the www page.
I've been 404 grepping in the past week and I haven't seen many.

Cheers, Warren
