Oops, resending to the rest of the list, as well ...

Well, an rsync client definitely *can* spawn an rsync daemon on the
remote machine. I thought BackupPC took advantage of that
functionality, but I may have been mistaken on that point. From the
rsync man page (and I feel foolish again, because this answers one of
my earlier questions):
Finally, it is possible to use a remote-shell transport to contact a
remote host and then to spawn a single-use rsync daemon. This allows
the use of some of the daemon features (such as named modules) without
having to run a daemon as a service.
Can BackupPC use rsyncd like that, so I don't have to run rsyncd on
the laptop on untrusted networks?
Thanks again,
Tom
