I like the built-in idea as I don't happen to use rsync via inetd/xinetd
or any other on-demand starter.
It's not an actual problem for me, today, but that's no excuse to avoid
doing the right thing once you recognize it.

You could just setup something to echo a one-line message on the socket and
disconnect. If you're using xinetd, tweak the program to be anything that
outputs a message to stdout. To replace an rsync daemon, you may want to code
up a C program or use a simple perl script, like this (and run it instead of
the daemon):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Socket;
my $PORT = 873;
local *S;
socket(S, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM , getprotobyname('tcp'))
or die "couldn't open socket: $!\n";
setsockopt(S, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1);
bind(S, sockaddr_in($PORT, INADDR_ANY));
listen(S, 25) or die "listen failed: $!\n";
while (1) {
accept(CON, S);
print CON "The rsync server is down for maintenance.\n";
close CON;
}
Any connecting rsync will then output this:
rsync: server sent "The rsync server is down for maintenance." rather than
greeting
