No. Please refer to the just-updated manpage on the web which should hopefully make this area clearer: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html Look for the adjacent sections "CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC DAEMON" and "USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION". See also the --rsh option for a brief mention of how it interacts with daemon- mode command-line syntax. > rsync: unable to open configuration file "rsyncd.conf": No such file or > directory A single-use "daemon" server looks for the config file in the home-dir of the remote user. > Another reason for my confusion is the same 3rd method, "RUNNING AN > RSYNC SERVER OVER A REMOTE SHELL PROGRAM" is described differently in > the man page for rsyncd.conf. Yes, that's an error. I've removed the talk of client-oriented options from the rsyncd.conf manpage (which should only be talking about daemon- oriented options). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
