OK, done.
rsync.uni-bayreuth.de and ftp.uni-bayreuth.de are different hosts 
sharing the same file-system.
rsync.uni-bayreuth.de ist the host controlling the file-system and 
mirroring/rsyncing the distributions.
ftp.uni-bayreuth.de is the "user front end". On this host, the 
file-system is only available "read-only".
Nevertheless for the user wanting to fetch the content it is more 
logical, if there is only one host in the database. So I removed 
"rsync.uni-bayreuth.de" from the database and updated the record for 
"ftp.uni-bayreuth.de" and added 
"rsync:/rsync.uni-bayreuth.de/fedora-linux-enchilada/linux" to the 
category "Fedora Linux".
If there are any further problems concerning our entry, please tell me.
