Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rsync
line 11 on /etc/init.d/rsync should be RSYNC_NICE='' not RSYNC_NICE_PARM=''. The latter is setting a variable that is constructed later, using the value of RSYNC_NICE. The way this script is now, niceness is never applied. This bug has been inherited into Ubuntu.
