I'd suggest stripping down the config file to it's barest essentials,
that way there is nothing extra to cause problems, the complaint
is about the docs section which you probably aren't using.
I have run into issues with some firewall software (Computer Associates
Firewall causes me major grief on a couple laptops,
but other than that rsyncd has been flawless)
I have got a windows installer for the rsync service built that creates
[?Drive] sections for each hard drive found on the
system, has the option to open the required ports etc on the MS XP
firewall, installs and starts the service with proper descriptions
in the services panel, and proper location of the output files (which by
default goes to C:/VAR) and will make it available as soon as I
add a prompt for auth user/passwd (my current version has them hard
coded for use on our office machines.)
This should be all you need, you may want to change the read only
setting, I like it because I don't have to do anything to restore a file
to a machine, and since we are behind a decent firewall, the backuppc
server is well locked down, and the rsyncd password is 32
characters generated by doing an md5sum on a jpeg that was handy, I'm
not all that worried about it.
Besides, the users are astonished when they call about losing a file and
it "appears" back on their machine, good for keeping up
the "Miracle Worker" image :)
