-You can launch it either via inetd or as a stand-alone daemon. If run
-as a daemon then just run the command "rsync --daemon" from a suitable
-startup script.
+The daemon must run with root privileges if you wish to use chroot, to
+bind to a port numbered under 1024 (as is the default 873), or to set
+file ownership. Otherwise, it must just have permission to read and
+write the appropriate data, log, and lock files.

+You can launch it either via inetd, as a stand-alone daemon, or from
+an rsync client via a remote shell. If run as a stand-alone daemon then
+just run the command "rsync --daemon" from a suitable startup script.
+If run from an rsync client via a remote shell (by specifying both the
+"-e/--rsh" option and server mode with "::" or "rsync://"), the --daemon
+option is automatically passed to the remote side.
