[04:17] < Reedy> running sync-common on fenari gives
[04:18] < Reedy> rsync: failed to connect to localhost (127.0.0.1): Connection refused (111)
[04:18] < Reedy> rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.9]
[04:18] < Reedy> sync-common tin seemingly WFM

The configuration in /srv/deployment/scap/scap/scap.cfg (yo dawg...) specifies localhost as the default master rsync server and then overrides this to tin.eqiad.wmnet for the TLD of wmnet. The lookup of the proper config value is driven by the fully qualified domain name of the host running the script. Some production hosts are externally accessible and have fully qualified domain names like fenari.wikimedia.org which only match the default settings. This leads to them attempting to sync files from themselves rather than tin (or another deployment host) when sync-common is called without providing a host list.
