    cd /data/kernels/

    nmap -p 873 rsync.fr.netbsd.org
    nmap -p 873 rsync.fr.netbsd.org -sU

    #sets=rsync://rsync.fr.netbsd.org/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.0/amd64/binary/sets
    #sets=rsync://rsync.fr.netbsd.org/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/amd64/binary/sets
sets=rsync://rsync.fr.netbsd.org/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64/binary/sets

    #rsync -avz --delete --exclude 'x*.tar.xz' $sets/ netbsd9/
    rsync -avz --delete --exclude 'x*.tar.xz' $sets/ netbsd-current/

see the PXE // NetBSD guide for daily tracking of the binaries.
