I want to set up RSYNC so it has root privilege on the remote server. I do not
want to run rsync through inetd.
I want to be able to limit who can use rsync when the remote end has root
privilege. I prefer not to use rsync's
internal user/secrets file. I do want to use SSH as the transport shell.

Does your system not have a user "nobody" in the passwd file? You can
always set the user via the uid option (e.g. "uid = root") so that rsync
doesn't try to switch to the default u
the remote
side's file system?
Thanks for your help.

If you're accessing the daemon through a socket, then
