No, that tells me what --daemon does; how to run rsync as a server. It does not tell me how to invoke rsync at the remote end manually without doing server-side things such as the reading of rsyncd.conf. What I want documened is how to use a customized transport that does not allow the client side to send arbirtrary commands to the remote end. The sort of thing done when using ssh with keys and the command= option within an authorized_keys file. As mentioned, now I use command="rsync --server --daemon ." in my authorized_keys file. I once figured this out from old rsync man pages, but don't see how to glean this command sequence from a more recent man page. Again, I might (eventually) get around to sending in a man page patch if somebody explains how it's done.
