The question was about an rsync daemon. But something similar is possible: the daemon can be configured with a "pre-xfer exec" script that looks at the RSYNC_ARG# environment variables and exits unsuccessfully if compression is not enabled. The downside is that, like rrsync, the script has to reimplement rsync argument parsing and the enforcement is only as good as the argument parsing. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
